You can do it with the shell, too.

Bring up the Terminal and find the directory you're interested in. Type: ls -c | sort | pbcopy Now the filenames are on the clipboard. The ls command is potentially more interesting as you can pull out just, say, doc files (if you label your goodies with suffixes of types): ls -c *.doc | sort | pbcopy
