what platform?

in IIS, i can help... ultimately, though, the files and sub-folders will 
be listed alphabetically... if anyone knows how to do it by date on a 
shared NT host, lemme know...

but once you get a folder/file 'object' into your SSI, then you can 
stuff into an ordered list, unordered, dictionary, etc., or just stuff 
breaks in, whatever you want, really...

as for having it on the same server, on an NT box, you can have the 
server mapped to a network machine/folder, but i wouldn't 
recommend it...
