[comp.emacs] File name completion

Is there any way to get file name completions sorted by modification time
instead of alphabetically?  I couldn't dig up anything using 'apropos' or
'info'.

For example, during a find-file (C-x C-f) it would be nice to be able to use
the '?' or some other key show you the list of possible completions, either
most recently modified first (e.g., if you're looking for a file in someone
else's directory that you know has been worked on recently) or least recently
modified first (e.g., if you're looking for a file you haven't touched in so
long that you've forgotten its exact name).  Other examples come to mind, but
I think you get the idea.

Thanks,
