While this is possible in principle, there are at least two problems that make sorting folders by creation date a rather unusual solution:
The top-level folders will also be sorted by date, and going through all the nested folders to get to the one you need will be a non-trivial task, most likely requiring manual linear browsing at each nesting level (the folders at the top levels will be arranged in an order that seems random)
Not all file systems/file services support separate dates for creation date and last modification date. And a folder is changed when files are added/removed to it. Thus, in some cases, sorting folders at the level you are interested in will also be random: the first (or last, depending on the sorting order) will be the one in which, for example, the next XMP file with metadata is written
Therefore, we recommend that you consider a folder naming scheme that includes the creation date at the beginning of the folder name.
