Files_MostRecentN

Gets most recent N files from a given folder.
Uses Arrays, and the function ArrSort_2Arr to sort files in descending order by date modified, then grab the top N files into ANStr.
You may decide separator, and number of files, folder should be passed as HTML UnMapPathed folder
If FileFilter = "", all file types will be returned
If FileFIlter starts with "." like ".txt", function will return files with that extension only
If FileFilter = "images", function will return image files only (jpg, png, gif and bmp)
