Use _FileListToArrayRec to look at the folder and its sub-folders.

i dont think for my case  is  good  i dont  want  look  inside sub sub folder ,  i  want  controll   if exist in  a folder,.....     3  folder, if  yes  , i  must  erase  the  1 oldest  of  3  forlder

for me  a problem is not  sorting  folder or  file , but  compare  3  folder date

questions the  function  _Date_Time_CompareFileTime in example have this part o code

; Compare FAT Dates/Times
    $tFileTime1 = _Date_Time_DOSDateTimeToFileTime(0x3621, 0x11EF) ; 01/01/2007 02:15:30
    $tFileTime2 = _Date_Time_DOSDateTimeToFileTime(0x379F, 0x944A) ; 12/31/2007 18:34:20

how is  possible to convert a date in  0x3621, 0x11EF ???

Look at much simpler FileGetTime().

I think this function works also for directories.
