Thread-topic: ASObjC: Get Most Recent File or Folder

Follow-up:

I do have this approach, but thought there might be a better one:

set currApp to current application

if (pSortBy = "Name") then

set NSSortBy to currApp's NSURLNameKey

else if (pSortBy = "Created") then

set NSSortBy to currApp's NSURLCreationDateKey

else if (pSortBy = "Modified") then

set NSSortBy to currApp's NSURLAttributeModificationDateKey

else if (pSortBy = "Added") then

set NSSortBy to currApp's NSURLAddedToDirectoryDateKey

end if

set filePathOrList to its filesIn:pFolder sortedBy:NSSortBy includeFolders:false returningAsList:returnListBol

I'm trying to refactor it into a more user-friendly handler, with sort options.

But it fails when I use a variable for the sort key "NSURLAddedToDirectoryDateKey" or any other NS sort key.

How can I setup my handler to provide for sort options?
