@SwarnaGold
You can use the assign activity and use the expression Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\UiPath")
The expression returns a list of files in the given directory.

Use this for directory path : Directory.GetFiles(“Directory Path”)
For getting the file creation time : File.GetCreationTime(item.ToString).ToString

Add them into a List and the sort the list accordingly.
For reference : Main.xaml (9.3 KB)
