You could use the os.stat function and the stat module like:

import os
import pprint
import stat

p = 'f:/mp3/italiane/Franco Battiato'
tosort = []

for f in os.listdir(p):
     tosort.append((os.stat(os.path.join(p,f))[stat.ST_CTIME],f))

tosort.sort()
pprint.pprint([r[1] for r in tosort])


I hope this helps,
ciao,
	Nick
