Gintaras, I KNOW you are busy, but could you tell me 'what' actually determines what file is oldest in the code you shared. This will help me in the long run understand this element of the programming language. THANKS!!!!!!!

GetFilesInFolder with getProp 2 prepends file times to file paths in the array. Then we sort, and the smallest number is in the first element.
