Java io, sort by date question

I have what I hope is a quick question - I am trying to open the oldest file in a given directory. The filenames are randomly generated, so the only criteria I have to search on is the create/mod date.
Any ideas?
thanks so much!

Get all the files into an array. (You can do this with one line of code, have a look at the API documentation for java.io.File.)
Scan the array and keep track of the entry that has the oldest last-modified date.

    I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
    To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
    Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

  • Latest OSX Mavericks on an iMac..... Gmail, View, Sort By,  Date does not stick...

    Sort by date does not stick...
    Is there a solution?

    I've tried re-installing my iTunes software and searched throughout the forums and elsewhere without so far being able to determine how to resolve this difficulty.
    In case my original question formulation was not clear, in the past I could click on the header (while viewing my iTunes library in 'Songs' view) and cycle through "Album", "Album by Artist", in either ascending or descending order, and so forth.
    Now I'm only able to chose between "Album by Artist", either ascending or descending. There is no "Album" view option available to me, as there has always been in the past.
    I'm completely puzzled as to how this happened. Perhaps I inadvertently hit the wrong key combination while using iTunes and it changed something, I just don't know.
    I would really appreciate it if any other forum members have suggestions as to how I might fix this!

  • How do I sort the data in the spreadsheet?

    This is a fairly basic question and something I do all the time.  I need to sort the data on a particular column or set of columns and am frustrated that it is this difficult to find.  In trying to figure this out I know also have a chart on my spreadsheet that I can't seem to delete. 

    If you don't see a gray bar above the table, then tap a cell to show the gray bar.
    Select a column by tapping the gray bar directly above the column. After the column is selected, tap the exact same spot again to show a menu.
    In the menu, tap on Sort... etc...
    Sort will sort the selected column, but will also update the entire table accordingly. If you don't want the rest of the table to update, then you have to copy that column (with the columns that you do want to update) and paste them onto the canvas so they appear in their own table. Sort the column then and paste it back into the original table.
    Delete the chart from a menu that appears similarly as Sort. Tap on the chart one time to select it. Tap it again to show the menu with Delete. If you are doing this and choosing Delete, but the chart is not disappearing, then there might be a problem with the file.

  • Sorting into date folders

    I am new to Lightroom having used iPhoto. I've imported scanned photos into LR4 and have changed the capture dates to reflect the original capture date of each photo imported. My LR Library is sorted by Date folders. How do I automatically get these photos sorted into their respective date folders?

    Is there an add-on that can automatically send the photos to their respective folders once edited?
    There may be such a plugin, I don't know. You could certainly do this via the export command in Lightroom. You could do this via a publish service in Lightroom.
    But let's talk about saving (or "exporting" is the LR word) photos. You do not need to do this to save/export the edited photo, like you might have to do in other software that you may have used. Your edits are automaticdally saved in Lightroom's catalog; you do not need to initiate a save or export action to save your edits. It happens automatically.
    So, there is no need to export the photos to a separate folder -- in fact I think this is unnecessary work. Lightroom can display your edited and unedited photos for you. Many people do not automatically export EVERY photo once edited; rather the edited photos are ONLY exported when you need to make some use of the photos outside of Lightroom (web, e-mail, commercial printer, other application), and then they can be considered temporary and deleted once you have completed your use of them.
    This would be a good time for you to view some videos about Lightroom, as I think you are having trouble with some very basic concepts in Lightroom.
    Please view some introductory videos about Lightroom, as your questions indicate this would be a good time to view these.

  • How to re-sort Table data like A-Z and Z-A

    Hello Gurus,
      How can i re-sort Table data based on last name or first name, once table filled data from backend(i mean, once executed RFC,  Table will be filled with data records, after that i want to re-sort table).
       Can you provide me code, how to do?
    Thanks
    Venkat.

    Hi Venkat,
    For sorting to table columns, you need to pick up the code from here and add into a java file within your development component.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/TableSorterClassfor+WebDynpro
    Then, you can call the constructor of the class and pass the arguments to enable table sorting in your code.
    Refer to following blog for execution
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417100)ID1078501850DB00490474849923920126End?blog=/pub/wlg/3287
    Let me know, if the problem persists.
    Regards,

  • Activity Management Java iViews displaying No Data Obtained

    Activity Management Java iViews displaying No Data Obtained. In our portal we are using several SAP delivered Java iViews. All of them work in our QA environment except the Activity Management ones.
    However, they DO work in our development.  Does anyone know what we are missing in the backend configuration that would cause the Activity Management Java iViews to display "No Data Obtained"
    Thanks.

    Hi Gregor
    The User is assigned to a business partner. I'm not familiar with CRM's Org Management structure, so if I had to ask this question to someone that is, what should I ask specifically?
    Advanced search doesn't provide an option for "My Team" but it does for "My Group" is that the same thing? And when I do a search on that criteria I do get results. Another question is even if there weren't any results shouldn't the iView still say "No entries exist" similar to the "My Teams Open Leads"?
    Thanks,

  • Can't sort by date created in Bridge

    I have raw files from two photographers that covered the same event. When I combined them in a folder in Bridge and apply view >sort>by date created, the images are only arranged in chronological order within each photographer's photos and not as a whole. How can I get both groups of photos to sort together by date created?

    It should work as you expected, that is if both have correct time settings
    in their dSLR set.
    First try the purge cache for folder option, while pointing Bridge at the
    problem folder go to the menu tools/cache/purge cache for folder and let the
    cache build again for the files in this folder before you give it a try.

  • I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my music library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not help because they are all listed as added on 12/12/2011.

    Library Duplicated
    I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not work, because every track is listed as added on 12/12/2011 even though this happened today 12/19/2011.

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

    In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

    In what mode, Events, Photos or in an Album, are you when you select View ➙ Sort ➙ By Title?
    As a first fix attempt try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • IPhoto, sort by date is not a true date/time sort

    In iPhoto, sort by date is not a true date/time sort.  If you have two cameras with there own naming convention iPhoto sorts filename by date separating the two cameras in the view. Is there a way to sort by DATE&TIME ONLY?

    Using two cameras using iPhoto to upload pictures.
    Both cameras are set to the correct time and date.
    Connect camera ONE filenames IMGP0101
    By default:
    No event name
    Split events checked
    Select import 12 photos
    Creates events:
    Untitled event December 27, 2013
    In order by time
    Untitled event December 28, 2013
    In order by time
    Untitled event December 29, 2013
    In order by time
    Untitled event December 30, 2013
    Connect camera TWO filenames IMG_1101
    By default:
    No event name
    Split events checked
    Select import 12 photos
    Creates events:
    Untitled event December 28, 2013
    In order by time
    Untitled event December 29, 2013
    In order by time
    Untitled event December 30, 2013
    Now I have 2 events for each of December 28, 29 and 30 they are not all under the same event name. My only option is to click and drag the pictures from the second set of events to the first set of events then they are in order.  This is a real pain to do.  There needs to be a way to reset the event dates so all pictures from both cameras end up in the right event date.
