If you can use Linq/lambas, you can do something like this:

System.IO.DirectoryInfo info = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"C:\");
System.IO.FileInfo[] files = info.GetFiles("*.jpg");
List<System.IO.FileInfo> sortedFiles = files.OrderBy(x => x.CreationTime).ToList();   

I don't know that internally it's any more efficient than looping, but it's definitely simple.
