How to sort the files in a folder by date?

Hi,

For example, I have 3 image files in a folder, looks like below (Fig 1).

I then tried to get the information of the image files by:

startpath=pwd;
>> list=dir(startpath);

I get (Fig 2):

I wonder how can I sort the files in the list (excluding the top two '.' and '..') by date (from early to late)?

S = dir(...);
S = S(~[S.isdir]);
[~,idx] = sort([S.datenum]);
S = S(idx)
