ls -tr | find -type f -name "*" -size +1M
find -type f -name "*" -size +1M | ls -tr
I am trying to find all files larger than 1MB and list them in chronological order.
But both ways is not piping properly.

Re: ls | find not piping
You forgot to give find a location to search for starters.
That will recursively find all files in current directory. Add -maxdepth 1 to find if you don't want it to search subdirectories. Add -r to ls if you want it to show oldest to newest.
This came up as the first result at StackExchange using a Startpage search for the term "find all files larger than 1MB and list them in chronological order". Search is much faster than a forum question usually.
