Well, list() will give you the array as you've shown. Add the elements of that
array to a List. Then, what I would do is create a Comparator that operates on
File objects. This comparator uses the date  to determine if one object is less
than another. Then use Collections.sort(List, Comparator). That's it.

if any body can give me an example  of how to test the traps eg recieving traps
on my own machine(generating traps for it) and testing and using trap mechanism
