I thought I should be able to:
tell application "Finder"
tell window of folder "Applications" of startup disk
open
set current view to list view
-- Next line gets an error
set sort column of list view options to modification
date column
end tell
end tell
But, I get an error when trying to set the sort column. This may be
because list view options are r/o. So, I'm assuming there must be
another way to control this, but I just can't find it.
Applescript in a nutshell implies that:
sort files of folder "Applications" of startup disk by modification date
should work. On OS 9 it just produces a sorted list (i.e. doesn't
sort the window). And on Mac OS X I just get an error.
