Not AFAIK. But os.path.get[acm]time(<filename>) and sorted() may help:
from os.path import getmtime, join, isfile
from os import listdir, getcwd
listfiles = lambda p: filter(isfile, # only list files
map(lambda f, p=p : join(p,f),
listdir(p)))
files = listfiles(getcwd())
sortedfiles = map(lambda item: item[1],
sorted(zip(map(getmtime, files), files)))
You can apply reversed() to sortedfiles if you want them in reversed order.
