When you catch the exception you should output its message, and not "blabla..is not a valid image file". That way you'll be able to identify what's going wrong.

Just for the gallery, see first part of code in my previous post:



string format = "MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm:ss";

            lines.Sort(new Comparison<string>(delegate(string a, string b)

                                                  {

                                                      string dateA = Regex.Match(a, "\\[(.+)\\]").Groups[1].Value;

                                                      string dateB = Regex.Match(b, "\\[(.+)\\]").Groups[1].Value;



                                                      return (DateTime.Compare(DateTime.ParseExact(dateA, format, null),

                                                          DateTime.ParseExact(dateB, format, null)));

                                                  }));
