function Finder::sortByChangedTime

Sorts files and directories by the last inode changed time.

This is the time that the inode information was last modified (permissions, owner, group or other metadata).

On Windows, since inode is not available, changed time is actually the file creation time.

This can be slow as all the matching files and directories must be retrieved for comparison.

Return value
