Sorting Directory Browse List by Date

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am using MS's Directory Browsing ASP sample to list the contents of a folder from a virtual directory in IIS.  Is there a way to alter the following code to make the page sort by date rather than by name?
Thanks, here's the code:
<%
   Option Explicit
   On Error Resume Next
   ' this section is optional - it just denies anonymous access
   If Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")="" Then
      Response.Status = "401 Access Denied"
   End If
   ' declare variables
   Dim objFSO, objFolder
   Dim objCollection, objItem
   Dim strPhysicalPath, strTitle, strServerName
   Dim strPath, strTemp
   Dim strName, strFile, strExt, strAttr
   Dim intSizeB, intSizeK, intAttr, dtmDate
   ' declare constants
   Const vbReadOnly = 1
   Const vbHidden = 2
   Const vbSystem = 4
   Const vbVolume = 8
   Const vbDirectory = 16
   Const vbArchive = 32
   Const vbAlias = 64
   Const vbCompressed = 128
   ' don't cache the page
   Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "No-Cache"
   Response.CacheControl = "Private"
   ' get the current folder URL path
   strTemp = Mid(Request.ServerVariables("URL"),2)
   strPath = ""
   Do While Instr(strTemp,"/")
      strPath = strPath & Left(strTemp,Instr(strTemp,"/"))
      strTemp =  Mid(strTemp,Instr(strTemp,"/")+1)    &nb sp; 
   Loop
   strPath = "/" & strPath
   ' build the page title
   strServerName = UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
   strTitle = "Contents of the " & strPath & " folder"
   ' create the file system objects
   strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(strPath)
   Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPhysicalPath)
