Sorting DCR's in creation date order

In several templates, I've used some code in TPLs to sort all of the DCR's in modified date/time order so I can output information with the most recently updated information first. Works great.

I have a new requirement to do this for a template, but in create date order. Being a PERL/UNIX newbie, I saw that $cdate was the next value in the stat command, and thought "gee...this is almost TOO easy..."

Which, of course, it was.

I see Interwoven is tracking the create date of the DCR's somewhere (I can see it in "File Properties") ... but I have no idea how to access it in my TPL, not to mention sort on it. Anybody have any thoughts?

iwrlog -m foo

Isn't cdate returned by stat?

10 ctime inode change time (NOT creation time!) since the epoch

I don't know what Interwoven registers as an inode change. Maybe have a trigger on file create that sets an EA to the create date? or maybe

iwattrib {path} crdate

but that requires a command line invocation (relatively expensive) and some parsing.

Actually iwatrrib foo cdate looks like it works pretty well. I tried it with a
rename & a touch & multiple versions seems to return the corect info. & it
does not require parsing like iwrlog will
