How to sort files by creation date using java 1.6












-1















I have a folder with files in there, I have to sort those files by their creation date.



So I want to sort from the oldest to the newest file by creation date.



I saw many answers working with java nio but since I am working with java 1.6 I can not use java nio.



I need help, is there any solution?

  • Thank you for the advice but I have some constraints and using java 1.6 is one of them.

If you can use a third party library try JavaXT Core. Should work with Java 1.5 and up.



    javaxt.io.File file = new javaxt.io.File("C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\myFile.txt");
System.out.println("Created: " + file.getCreationTime());
System.out.println("Accessed: " + file.getLastAccessTime());
System.out.println("Modified: " + file.getLastModifiedTime());
