sortBy function

List sortBy(List objects, FlutterFileUtilsSorting? by, { bool reversed = false, })

• argument objects = File or Directory
• argument by String: 'date', 'alpha', 'size'

Implementation

            .modified
            .millisecondsSinceEpoch
            .compareTo(b.statSync().modified.millisecondsSinceEpoch);
      });
      break;

    case FlutterFileUtilsSorting.Size:
      objects.sort((a, b) {
        return a.statSync().size.compareTo(b.statSync().size);
      });
      break;

    case FlutterFileUtilsSorting.Type:
