Hey Luther,
This works for me:
tell application "Finder" set filelist to reverse of (sort (get items in (path to "down") as alias list) by modification date) end tell
I find it a trifle slow on my G4 PowerBook (especially when there are many items), so I use a shell script instead:
property srcFolder : path to "down" set p to POSIX path of srcFolder set fList to do shell script "ls -t " & quoted form of p set fList to reverse of paragraphs of fList
