Angry find files
gents

i need to look for a file with the latest date ... to make it clearer, here's what it looks like:
/afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed/060920212734/CDAuthorisedSet_0_7408.xml
/afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed/060920214314/CDAuthorisedSet_0_7409.xml
/afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed/060920220617/CDAuthorisedSet_0_7410.xml
/afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed/060920231041/CDAuthorisedSet_0_7411.xml
/afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed/060920232725/CDAuthorisedSet_0_7412.xml
/afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed/060921003333/CDAuthorisedSet_0_7413.xml

now i need to find the latest CDAuthorisedSet_*.xml file ... how can i do that ...

ive been trying to find out a solution but cant seem to find it ..

here's my find command:
find /afc/data/EOD/Eoddev/Enqueue/Devices/Processed -name "CDAuthorisedSet*" -type f -print

this finds all the above files but who can i specify to use the one with the latest date ..

thanks
