Order of items in a file list from Finder


  • Subject: Order of items in a file list from Finder
  • From: Jeffrey Mattox <email@hidden>
  • Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 23:10:50 -0600

This script:

tell application "Finder"
set theFileList to (name of every file in folder aFolder)
end tell

returns a list in ascending alphabetical order.

1. Can I rely on that ordering to always be the case?

2. Is there an option to get the list in creation date order?

3. Where is this documented?

Jeff
