Do you want the ordering to apply just to files within each directory, 
or to all the files found (recursively) during the entire walk?  Define 
"newest" (most recent modified date or something else?).  Is there any 
reason why sorting with the results of os.access().st_mtime as the key 
is not possible or sufficient?
