How do you get the read directory function to sort by latest modified date???

Any advice? Thanks in advance.

use CGI ':standard';
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
use File::Spec::Functions;

opendir( FILES, "pending" ) || die "Cannot opendir /some/path: $!";

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "<TABLE BORDER=1>\n<TR><TH
align=left>Files</TH><TH
align=left>Last Modified On</TH>

</TR>";

my $files;
my $mod;

while ( $files = readdir(FILES) )
{

    $mod = ( stat( catfile( 'pending', $files ) ) )[9];
    $mod = localtime($mod);

    # href will have path to new cgi
    print "<TR><TD><a href=createhtml.cgi?filename=" . $files
        . ">$files</a></TD><TD>$mod</TD>
    </TR>";
}
print "</TABLE>";

closedir(FILES);

sub Error
{
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    print "The server can't $_[0] the $_[1]: $! \n";
    exit;
}
