Let's say I have a directory like /home/user/.
How can I to list EVERY file (even in sub directories) under that folder, and order them by the date they were last edited?

You can use:
$ ls -Rt where -R means recursive (include subdirectories) and -t means "sort by last modification date".

If you'd like a master list in which all the files are sorted together by modification date, showing the directory they're in, but not grouped by directory, you can use this:
find . -type f -printf "%-.22T+ %M %n %-8u %-8g %8s %Tx %.8TX %p\n" | sort | cut -f 2- -d ' ' The result looks a lot like ls -l:

Mac OS X
For those of you using Mac OS X, option -printf is not available on BSD find (you will get this error: find: -printf: unknown primary or operator). Fortunately you can Install GNU find through Homebrew (there should be an option to Fink and Macports as well):
brew install findutils After install it the GNU find should be available to you as gfind. So, all you need to do is change the line above to:
gfind . -type f -printf "%-.22T+ %M %n %-8u %-8g %8s %Tx %.8TX %p\n" | sort | cut -f 2- -d ' '
