1.0 Concept

FileDates reports all files, matching one or more specified patterns, in the directory tree rooted at a specified path. It displays all discovered files, sorted in order of their file dates. Users can request sorts from newest to oldest or oldest to newest. Use FileDates to find very old files to discard, or very new files, looking for latest versions.

2.0 Design

FileDates uses a file manager (older than DirExplorerT) to find files, storing them in a std::map, ordered by file date.

3.0 Build

FileDates was built with Visual Studio Community Edition - 2019, and tested on Windows 10.
