searching using powershell last timestamp folder

i am using following powershell script for getting folder with latest time stamp

    $drive = get-psdrive |select root |Select-String -InputObject {$_.Root} -Pattern ':'
 Write-Host $drive

   foreach ($a in $drive)
    {            
Get-ChildItem -Path $a -Filter "*sysout" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue|select -last 1       
    }

}

it gives following output

    A:\ C:\ D:\ E:\ F:\ G:\ H:\ I:\ J:\ K:\ Z:\


    Directory: E:\utility


Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name
----                -------------     ------ ----
d----         2/21/2018   2:06 AM            sysout


    Directory: F:\


Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name
----                -------------     ------ ----
d----         2/21/2018   3:15 AM            sysout

i need latest timestamp folder but using -last 1 doesnt give desired results.

Last doesn't really have any meaning without order.

Get-ChildItem -Path $a -Filter "*sysout" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
    Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending |
    Select-Object -Last 1
