Is it possible to have a script that when executed, will export the file contents of a folder to a text file but show the exported results with the newest files (date modified) first?

yes, its possible. read the output of dir /? for usage information regarding the switches needed to sort as per your need.

Many thanks. I was after something along the line of:

dir /b /W /O-D > updates.txt

and this works great!
