Try the following

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)

Dim di2 As DirectoryInfo() = di.GetDirectories()

' Reverse the di2 array

Array.Reverse(di2)

' Now di2 contains the directories in reverse order

Hello, thanks, Array.Reverse seems a better option than:

DirectoryInfo().OrderByDescending(Function(p) p.CreationTime).ToArray()

Which I found online, right?

either one works - the first one is simpler...
