Reading the most recently created file in the Box folder

After linking to a box folder with BOX input tool, I would like to list the files in the descending order of CreationTime, and then read data from the most recently created csv file. Could anyone help me how to implement it using the BOX input tool instead of “Directory” tool (Reference: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Picking-up-the-latest-file-ava...)?

I don't have a Box account to create a demo template for you, but after uploading all files from the selected folder you can create a workflow similar as you did in your sample.
