Another question...

I'm using the Finder's "sort" command to sort the files in the user-chosen
folder by modification date. This is working correctly 99% of the time,
but in my developing and testing this script, I've had two or three
occasions where the returned list was not sorted correctly.

Anyone have any direct experience using the "sort" command and if so, have
you found it reliable?

I'm running 10.4.11 if that makes any difference.

thx,

RJay
