I'm not sure. Maybe I'm not understanding your problem.

Here's what I do step-by-step:

- Command F in the finder.
- In the resulting window select "Last Modified" and "Today" from the  
pop-ups. Also click on Servers or Computer or Home to select what to  
search.
- All files found that satisfy the above criteria will show up in the  
window organized by type of document.
- With the same window in the forefront, go to the Finder menu bar  
and select View>as List. Every file now will be displayed in list  
view regardless of the type of document it is. Now when you click on  
the "Date Modified" header in that same window you can arrange the  
files in ascending or descending order.
- If the "Date Modified" is not in the header of the search window,  
use the Finder View>Show View Options to put it there.
