Sort files under a folder by created date

Kunsheng · 05-10-2009, 02:51 PM

Could anyone giving me some idea on how to sort files under a folder by created date in C (pure c)?

I know how to output all files under a certain folder using DIR structure. The thing is I want them to output in an order by created date.

I am wondering if there is any other way besides writing a sort method myself.

Thanks,

You can sort using Glib's GTree (balanced binary tree). http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/...ary-Trees.html

You might need to install the package 'glib-devel' first, though.

just FYI, there's no such thing as creation time in *nix eg see man find
