Sort images in gridview using date

Question

I use the following code, it selects an image from the gallery and displays the image in random order

String[] columns = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID }; String orderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID; imagecursor = managedQuery(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, null,null, orderBy); int image_column_index = imagecursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID); 

I want the images to be sorted by the date in which they were taken (for example: Last first and oldest photos later) ...
