How to sort Files by name using older version of Talend and tFileList

Hi, I have to take some files in Input (let's say 5) with a tFileList and sort them by file name in ascending order.

Here I can see that the component tFileList has the options to that:

in my case I'm using the 3.1 version of Talend Open Studio, and the tFileList of that versions doesn't have the sorting options like the 6.1 version has, is there any other way of sorting the files?

Hi,

 

    The best and easy way will be to do the upgrade as we are currently at 7.2 version of Talend. I have never tried version 3 of Talend personally. If you do not want to upgarde, then, you will have to use tSystem component to print the file properties to a file using Unix command and then read that file to determine the creation date or modified date of file.

 

Warm Regards,
