We are using Scott's IFS APIs to work with the IFS in RPG. I have an
application that loads a subfile from READDIR calls.

I am wondering if I'm missing an option to sort the results of multiple
READDIR calls by the object's modification date (descending). I imagine
any such option would need to occur prior to the first READDIR call, so I
looked at OPENDIR but there is no parameter defined to handle that.

So, I'm guessing I need to collect all of the READDIR calls into an array
or temp file and sort that before loading the subfile. But I just wanted
to make sure I wasn't missing something simpler. FWIW, I expect that the
number of entries retrieved will always be less than 100.
