Well, I can't really hope to play "One-upmanship" with Kevin, nor 
could I ever attempt to come up with something as concise as he did.

However, I can offer you this.  Perl has a lot of sorting, 
and file-finding modules built into it.  That, combined with hashes, 
could enable you to write some pretty good file sorting code which is 
actually readable :)

         If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
