Please add the following new features...

1. When selecting multiple text file as a data source, please add the option to import only the latest file into the warehouse rather than all files, based on the timestamp of the individual files. For example, if I have Aging20180401.csv and Aging20180402.csv in the same directory, I would like to be able to import only the "02" version as it is the newest one in the directory.

2. Please allow for multiple files to be in a directory, and have the option to load those files into the warehouse in chronological order. For example, if I have Aging20180401.csv and Aging20180402.csv in the same directory, I would like to be able to import both files but make sure they come into the warehouse in a selectable order (oldest first, newest first, alphabetically, etc.).

Thanks.
