Of course, you don't need to sort the entire list, you can just get
the oldest few.
If you do want a sorted list of folder names, then
set theList to every paragraph of (do shell script "ls -t " &
POSIX path of alias "path:to:folder")
Hello Nigel !
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I have tried your suggestion:
=====
tell application "Finder"
set theList to every paragraph of (do shell script "ls -t " & POSIX
path of alias "IBM 01:Users:Parents:Desktop:Foo:")
end tell
=====
but the result stays empty
--> {""}
I must have missed something.
Any suggestion or other time sorting routines ?
Tanks in advance.
Yours.
Bernard
