edna

I had edna set up to serve mp3s from my laptop for the past couple years, but forgot to save my patches when I upgraded to 10.4. oops. anyway here's how to make edna sort by date instead of alphabetically.

def sort_dir(d):
 l = filter(_usable_file, os.listdir(d))
 
 # build a list including the date
 date_file_list = [ ]
 for name in l:
  fullpath = os.path.join(d, name)
  stats = os.stat(fullpath)
  lastmod_date = time.localtime(stats[8])
  date_file_tuple = lastmod_date, name
  date_file_list.append(date_file_tuple)
 
 # sort it
 date_file_list.sort()
 date_file_list.reverse()
 
 # extract just the name again
 dl = [ ]
 for date_file in date_file_list:
  #grab the 2nd half of the tuple
  dl.append(date_file[1])
  
 return dl
