    fDialog to open a Directory, Sort by Date Modified

    Hi all,

    I'm attempting to open a directory using fDialog. It works fine only I'd like to be able to change what the Directory is sorted by for example Date Modified Ascending. Is it possible to do this? How?

    This is the code that I'm using:
    ' Requires reference to Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library.

    Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
    Dim varFile As Variant

    ' Clear listbox contents.
    'Me.FileList.RowSource = ""

    ' Set up the File Dialog.
    Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

    With fDialog
    .InitialFileName = "C:\CARDS\Dirx\"



    ' Allow user to make multiple selections in dialog box
    .AllowMultiSelect = True

    ' Set the title of the dialog box.
    .Title = "Please select one or more files"

    ' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.
    .Filters.Clear
    .Filters.Add "Access Databases", "*.MDB"
    .Filters.Add "Access Projects", "*.ADP"
    .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"
    'working here
    .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails

    ' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
    ' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns
    ' False, the user clicked Cancel.
    If .Show = True Then

    'Loop through each file selected and add it to our list box.
    For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
    'Me.FileList.AddItem varFile
    Next

    Else
    MsgBox "You clicked Cancel in the file dialog box."
    End If
    End With

    From quick research, I don't see any property for "initial sort by".

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
