Ok. This command gets me really close to only getting a listing of directory names sorted be most recent first:
ls -tF
With this output, we get a / after each folder so I can bring that into Applescript and only get the lines that end with /, clean them off and I've got the directory names I want sorted properly and not recursing.
Well, at least I know what I'm doing tonight. Man.
Thanks all.
