Example Program and Output

import std.algorithm: filter, map, sort;
import std.container.array;
import std.file: SpanMode, dirEntries, isDir ;
import std.range: chain;
import std.stdio: writefln;
import std.typecons: Tuple, tuple;

void main () {
auto FFs =  Array!(string)("C:\\Temp\\BACKUP", 
"C:\\Temp\\EXPORT", "C:\\Temp\\PROD_TEAM");
int AgeSize = 2;
foreach(d; FFs[]) {
auto dFiles = Array!(Tuple!(string, string))(dirEntries(d, 
SpanMode.shallow).filter!(a => a.isDir).map!(a => tuple(a.name, 
a.timeCreated.toSimpleString[0 .. 20])));
writefln("%(%-(%-63s %s %)\n%)", chain(dFiles[]).sort!((a,b) => 
a[0] > b[0]));
}
}

Output
