How to print files by order of the timestamp?

perlesrh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to print files by order of the timestamp in a directory on a remote Windows server. I have the code to print files by order of the file names. But I do not know how to change it to print files by order of the timestamp. I am using Net::SFTP::Foreign module. The current code is as below. The "ordered => 1" option is to print by file name. What is the option to print by the timestamp? I really appreciate if anyone can help.

CODE $sftp->ls('Win_Directory', ordered => 1, wanted => sub { if ( $_1->{longname} =~ /^d/ ) { $dircount++; } else { print "$_1->{longname} \n"; } } ) /CODE

Having glanced through the documentation for Net::SFTP::Foreign and Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes my best guess is you would do something like: `my $dirs = $sftp->ls(...); my @sorted = sort {$a->{a}{mtime} <=> $b->{a}{mtime}} @$dirs;` [download] True laziness is hard work	[reply] [d/l]
