cool thx a lot guys

very nice ... with a little tweaking it can do many things. nice post

thank you works fine !

Absolutely perfect solutions. Thanks.

Thanks. It works perfect and helped me out great

Perfect example for sort with customization.... Thanks a lot

This is perfect! tnx very much

Thanks a lot for sharing this information with the net

Very useful

I've used LINQ successfully:
Dim f = From x In .GetFiles _ (dirinfo,FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.xml") _
Order By .GetFileInfo(x).LastWriteTime Descending

Actually I am redaing the files from array and storing in table and sorting the table view based on creation time.

My code goes like this:
Dim aryFileinfo As IO.FileInfo() = lfolderinformation.GetFiles(drpIP.SelectedItem.Value & strFileExtension)
'Inner For loop - Getting File Contents
For Each lfileinformation In aryFileinfo
'Dim lfilecreationtime As String = lfileinformation.CreationTime
If lfileinformation.Extension = strFileExtension Then
If lfileinformation.Length > 1024 Then
strFileSize = Format((lfileinformation.Length / 1024), "#,###.00") & " KB"
Else
strFileSize = lfileinformation.Length & " Bytes"
End If
row = table.NewRow()
row("File Name") = lfileinformation.Name
row("Backup File Path") = lfileinformation.FullName
row("File Creation Time") = lfolderinformation.CreationTime
row("Last Accessed") = lfileinformation.LastAccessTime
row("File Size") = strFileSize
table.Rows.Add(row)
End If
Next
Next
If table.Rows.Count > 0 Then
pnlResult.Visible = True

table.DefaultView.ApplyDefaultSort = "[File Creation Time] DESC"

if I am running it locally, its working but if I am deploying in production environment..Its not sorting fully...Please suggest

Can you please get me the equivalent in VB6
Thanks

Excellent code. Worked very well. Thanks!!

Thanks, worked very well!

Thanks. Very usefull

Bit better with the type safety if you use generics - saves you having to call DirectCast, too :)

Public Class clsCompareFileInfo
Implements IComparer(Of IO.FileInfo)

Public Function Compare(x As System.IO.FileInfo, y As System.IO.FileInfo) As Integer Implements System.Collections.Generic.IComparer(Of System.IO.FileInfo).Compare
Return DateTime.Compare(x.LastWriteTime, y.LastWriteTime)
End Function
End Class

Awesome solution! Excellent and efficent means of parsing through large folders to sort properly - useful for my little backup routine. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! It works! And if you want to order ascending or descending just swap object_x by object_y or file1 by file2. Sweet!
