How to get last modified date for folders in Dropbox V2 API ?

Hi, I am trying migrate from v1 to v2 and get to the user's root folder and view all the list of files and folders with last modified date. I am passing "https://api.dropbox.com/2/files/list_folder"...

API v2 doesn't return modified time in FolderMetadata, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. 

Regarding the order of items returned by list_folder, your app should process them in the order given in order to get an accurate representation of the state of the account. Once you have all of the metadata, you can sort items as desired on the client.

I'm not sure what you mean by "size of file is not proper" or "I am also not able to open the folders" though. Can you elaborate on those issues?
