Sort files by date

[fargo]

Hi.

I'm looking for some way to sort files by date.

I'm usin glob module to list a directiry, but files are sorted by name.
.... print ScannedFile

I googled my problem, but did not find any solution, neither in this
newsgroup.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

you could do something like:

l = [(os.stat(i).st_mtime, i) for i in glob.glob('*')]
l.sort()
files = [i[1] for i in l]

If you have 2.4 or later:

def mtime(filename):
return os.stat(filename).st_mtime

lst = sorted(glob.glob('*'), key=mtime)
