Get directory contents in date modified order

Question

Is there an method to get the contents of a folder in a particular order? I\'d like an array of file attribute dictionaries (or just file names) ordered by date modified.

Simpler...

NSArray*  filelist_sorted;
filelist_sorted = [filelist_raw sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id obj1, id obj2) {
    NSDictionary* first_properties  = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", path_thumb, obj1] error:nil];
    NSDate*       first             = [first_properties  objectForKey:NSFileModificationDate];
    NSDictionary* second_properties = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", path_thumb, obj2] error:nil];
    NSDate*       second            = [second_properties objectForKey:NSFileModificationDate];
    return [second compare:first];
}];
