An AppleScript to organize items by 'date added to folder'

I wrote a FolderAction (a while back actually) called FolderOrgX that will organize a folder by the date the files were added. This is perfect for my Downloads folder, as I can then easily see what was added on each date.

[robg adds: This little script worked perfectly for me, and it gets around the annoying problem of modification date vs. download date -- even though I keep my downloads folder organized by date, those dates usually don't reflect the date I actually downloaded the packge. This little script makes it quite easy to see what I downloaded when. The source is editable, too, so you can tweak it to your liking.]
