Getting the index of the last entry in a directory

Hello,

Is there anyway of getting the index of the last entry in a directory? I'm using a C program to read the entries, but I want to go to the last entry because the directory is very big and I don't want to read all. I was using the size of the directory file descriptor but when I remove files the size doesn't decrease. Any ideas? Thanks.
