    <p>Collect files and dates in a list of tuples and sort that list by the date element. Here is the example code, the comments in it should be sufficient to understand it:</p> <pre><code>from stat import S_ISREG, ST_CTIME, ST_MODE import os, sys, time, glob search_dir = r"e:\test" files = filter(os.path.isfile, glob.glob(search_dir + "\\*.bas")) file_date_tuple_list = [] for x in files: d = os.path.getmtime(x) #tuple with file and date, add it in a list file_date_tuple = (x,d) file_date_tuple_list.append(file_date_tuple) #sort the tuple list by the second element which is the date file_date_tuple_list.sort(key=lambda x: x[1]) </code></pre> <p>Optionally, you can use a list comprehension to make the code more compact and clean ...</p> <pre><code>file_date_tuple_list = [(x,os.path.getmtime(x)) for x in files] file_date_tuple_list.sort(key=lambda x: x[1]) </code></pre> <p>This two lines would replace all the <code>for</code> loop from the first example.</p> <p>Now if what you want in the list is a string with filename and date formatted then ... add this import ...</p> <pre><code>from datetime import date </code></pre> <p>and another line with this list comprehension that takes the modification time stamp and formats it into a string.</p> <pre><code>file_date_string_list = ["%s %s"%(x[0],date.fromtimestamp(x[1])) \ for x in file_date_tuple_list] </code></pre> <p>For reversing the order of the sort use the optional parameter <code>reverse</code> in the <code>sort</code> execution:</p> <pre><code>file_date_tuple_list.sort(key=lambda x: x[1],reverse=True) </code></pre> <p>For limiting the date to a specific <code>datetime</code></p> <pre><code>from datetime import datetime limit = datetime(2011,01,05,17,0,0) #5pm , Jun 5 2011 file_date_string_list = ["%s %s"%(x[0],date.fromtimestamp(x[1])) \ for x in file_date_tuple_list \ if datetime.fromtimestamp(x[1]) &gt; limit ] </code></pre> <p>As you can see you can add an <code>if</code> condition inside the list comprehension, which is really cool.</p>

    1. COThank you. That was so incredibly helpful. Would it be too much of a bother to show me how to modify it so that the most recent files would be first, and so that only files after (e.g.) June 1 at 5pm would be in the file_date_string_list? Thank you again.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
