I would like direction on how to select the top 10 files bars on sorting last modify date and copy or move them to a different folder. Using the desk top flow

You can use the Get Files action and in the Advanced section it will have an option to Sort by the modified date and choose the Descending switch as per your requirement.

This will give a Datatable called Files. Loop through the Files datatable for 10 times as you copy/move the files.

how do I apply the loop? 

[sbrownsecuretra]

It continues to bring over all the files instead of one at a time.

Follow the pseudo logic.

-Set variable counter =1

-Get files in folder

-for each loop on %files%

If counter<=10 then

Copy files (make sure here you use current item and not %Files% as you have used which is causing everything to get copied) 

End if

Increase variable counter by 1

-end of for each loop

Here's the PAD version of VJR's post. Be sure the "Get files in folder" is sorted how you want it

That worked!!! Thank you very much for your help.

Be noted in your code Counter starts from 1 and the "IF" condition is <=10 which means 0 to 10. It will process 11 documents.

Either have:

Counter = 1

If Counter <=10

OR

Counter = 0

If Counter <10
