Hi,

You can use File.lastModified and array ranks to achieve this.
Note, however that this is last modification date and not creation date.

dir = getDirectory("choose dir");
list = getFileList(dir);
dates = newArray(list.length);
for (i=0;i<list.length;i++) {
  dates[i] = File.lastModified(dir+list[i]);
}
ranks = Array.rankPositions(dates);
for (i=0;i<list.length;i++) {
  print (dates[ranks[i]],list[ranks[i]]);
}


Jerome.
