If in a "date modified" view it still homes to the first item by name and not the top of the list.
Is there a command that will do this?

I'm having trouble interpreting the problem description.
I think you mean something like the following (which will have to be changed if the sort direction is descending):

set hf to path to home folder
tell application "Finder"
set top to date ("Jan 24, 1984")
set dlist to modification date of every item of hf
repeat with i from 1 to count of dlist
set d to item i of dlist
if (d is greater than top) then
set top to d
end if
end repeat
set tlist to every item of hf whose modification date is top
reveal item 1 of tlist
end tell
