Hi All

I have a code that loads files from a specific directory. All files at named based on a simple dateformat i.e 01012018 or 19122018.
My issues is that when the files are loaded into the listbox, they are not sortet. Sorting the folder does not solve my problem. All i really want is for the newest file to be on top and so forth.
Please help

Code for loading looks like this and works

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
 
fpath = ThisWorkbook.path & "\Input\"

ListBox1.Clear
    orderfile = Dir(fpath & "*.xls*", vbNormal)
     Do While Len(orderfile) > 0
        ListBox1.AddItem orderfile
        orderfile = Dir()
    Loop
    
End Sub
