Perhaps this does what you are looking for ...

set sourceFolder to alias "OS_X:Library:Frameworks" -- for example
tell application "Finder"
get sort (get folders of sourceFolder) by modification date
set folderList to (reverse of the result) as alias list
--
repeat with i from 1 to (count items of folderList)
(name of item i of folderList) as text
display dialog the result
end repeat
end tell
beep

Or not?

Yep. That does. I saw that I could get the name of an individual item of the list but for some reason you can not get the name of every item or each item in the list. I was hoping there was one of those elegant AppleScript one liners that lets you do a loop in one line.
