Yes, because the @window is a sorted listbox. I'm assuming you pulled that out of my example of: alias dirview {
var %i = 1 , %path = $qt($iif($1-,$1-,$$sdir($mircdir)))
window -hesl @dirview | clear @dirview
noop $finddir(%path,*,0,5,@dirview)
window -aw3 @dirview
}/window -hesl @dirview; creates a "sorted" @dirview window, while $finddir(%path,*,0,5,@dirview) populates the window (using 5 as the depth to search for dirs)

Not entirely. Though it's the easiest way in mIRC to do it.
It doesn't -have- to be a list box.
//window -aes @sort | noop $finddir(C:\,*,0,5,aline @sort $1-)
Though -s on the window does need to be specified to make it auto sort things. And aline needs to be used in order for it to be sorted in the @window.
Also, if you already have a file with a bunch of names, you can do something like:
/run sort FILE1.txt > FILE2.txt
Which will copy FILE1.txt into FILE2.txt, but it will "sort" the text in the file.

Anyone know a way to sort the dirlist based on date?
Id like to get for example 10 latest dirs and ignore the rest.

I'd recommend writing the creation date to the window, then using /filter to filter it. You can then remove the date and anything over your limit of 10 from the window. Or, if you want to make it even easier, use 2 windows, with the first one hidden. Write the folder and date in one window, then /filter. Then, copy the first 10 lines (minus date) to the second window.

If there's a possibility a folder will have a date prior to Sept 8th 2001, you should use $base($file(foldername).ctime,10,10,10) to provide leading zeroes to ensure you don't have the oldest folders sorting to the bottom like:
1182700000
999999999
...as a sorted window sees the numbers as if they're text, and sorts 111 before 99 because of the leading '9'.
