Here is the command to list latest modified files from a folder.
Get-ChildItem -Path c:\temp | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
The above command will output the latest changed/modified files from c:\temp location.
If you need to get the result to a variable
$latest =Get-ChildItem -Path c:\temp | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
If you need only the files with zip extension.
$latestzip = Get-ChildItem -Path c:\temp -filter *.zip | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
