   Powershell examples:   
      
   Ascending Order (oldest first):   
   powershell   
   Get-ChildItem | Sort-Object CreationTime   
      
   or using the 'dir' alias   
   dir | sort CreationTime

   Descending Order (newest first):   
   powershell   
   Get-ChildItem | Sort-Object CreationTime -Descending

   dir | sort CreationTime -Descending

   column is enabled.....then look, you should be able to figure out 'last   
   saved' meaning.
