How to copy files from one location to another based on a priority?

Hi Gurus,

I am a newbie to shell scripting and I am facing a problem right now.I have to automate the copy of files based on a priority.The scenario is as below:

1) There will be files from Mon-Fri with Mon file being named as abc_def_01_YYYYMMDD and Tue file being abc_def_02_YYYYMMDD and so forth till Friday's file which would be abc_def_YYYYMMDD.

2) I have to set a priority such that if on any given day if i have more than one file, I have to copy the earlier file first.For instance if on Thursday i have monday's file and wednesday's file I have to copy the Monday's file first, then after a pre-defined delay send Wednesday's file-delay- and then send the thursday's file.

Please let me know how could i do it..Thanks in anticipation.
