Is there a way to SCAN folders/subfolders in reverse order?

Hello, I have a complicated search I perform on a folder with a ton of files (using the filter with regexp). It takes a while to scan through all the folders and sub-folders. All the folders in the root folder are namedtarting with a serial number (e.g. 35526 Project Name). So basically, the newest folders are at the end of that folder list with higher numbers. I'd like to perform the scan in reverse order since all the older folders with smaller serials have previously been scanned and are less likely to need to be scanned again. Is this possible?

Would you scan the folders and then stop the scanning once the bottom folders are scanned?

If I'm understanding correctly. Yes, once a folder has been scanned, there's really no need to scan it again in the future.

Folders are always rescanned to check if new files are present.

Yeah, so I just want to scan in reverse alphabetical order. That way the most recent folders are scanned first. I am fine stopping the scan manually.
