This looked familiar, so I looked in an old script and found ...
set rawMsgList to (reverse of (sort {get items of sourceFolder} by modification date)) -- Leopard needs {}
property sourceFolder : alias "OS_X:Library:Application Support" on run tell application "Finder" -- set fileList to sort (get items of sourceFolder) by modification date set fileList to (reverse of (sort (get items of sourceFolder) by modification date)) end tell item 1 of fileList as text log the result end run
This seems to do what you need ... and does not need 'do shell script'. (But, perhaps you had something else in mind that I overlooked. ?)
