Reverse sorting a QStringList when using QStringList::entryList()

I have a QStringList that gets all the files in a certain directory, and all the files are created by another function, hence, they are created at the same date. The problem is when I call "entryList()" in my QStringList, it orders the files from oldest to newest, and I want to reverse it.

jsonList = dirTweetJson.entryList(QDir::AllEntries | QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot);
// dirTweetJson is the QDir of my files

You have to override default alphabetic sort using SortFlag: QDir::Time

    jsonList = dirTweetJson.entryList(QDir::AllEntries | 
QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, QDir::Time);

you can reverse the sort order using QDir::Reversed along with your sort falg:

    jsonList=dirTweetJson.entryList(QDir::AllEntries | QDir::Files | 
QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, QDir::Time | QDir::Reversed);
