Hey Dave,

This has been covered several times on the list.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set otherFolder to alias ((path to library folder as text) & "Documentation:")
tell application "Finder"
  activate
  set frontWindowTarget to target of front window as alias
  set sort column of list view options of Finder window 1 to modification date column
  set sort direction of column id modification date column of list view options of Finder window 1 to reversed
  tell front window
    set its target to otherFolder
    set its target to frontWindowTarget
  end tell
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can close and reopen the window to force the new settings to display, but it's a bit smoother if you just change and restore the target of the front window.

Best Regards,
Chris
