Question

I have a folder which contains many files. Is there any easy way to get the file names in the directory sorted by their creation date/time?

If I use Directory.GetFiles(), it returns the files sorted by their file name.

Answer 1

this could work for you.

using System.Linq;

DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo("PATH_TO_DIRECTORY_HERE");
FileInfo[] files = info.GetFiles().OrderBy(p => p.CreationTime).ToArray();
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
    // DO Something...
}
