sorting files by date/time

[sellthekids]

hi,

first time poster/long time lurker.

in the course of my work, i have to support some legacy apps (don't we all?!). we have several written in VB6.

i currently have a project that is reading some xml files for content and then moving them using the File System Object to an output directory.

unfortunately, i now am tasked with processing these files First In, First Out - which means i need to sort them via date/time, something that FSO doesn't do.

is there an elegant method to do this?

all the code is in a class which is compiled into a .DLL that is called by our custom engine.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

many thanks,

Does it make a list? You can use the API GetFileTime or the built in FileDateTime function...



Good Luck
