Default Finding a folder with the largest number.

Hello
Is it possible to search through a set of folders or directories and choose
the one with the largest number? Excel has a MAX function for finding the
largest number on a ss which I need to use later but I have to find a dir
with the largest number which in turn is the newest date. It's an odd date
format.

thanks for any help
Steve
