I want to get the sub directories list in ascending order on created date means the oldest directory should be first and so on.

List subfolders = Directory.GetDirectories(source).ToList();

I think DirectoryInfo.GetDirectories will be more suitable here, you can do like the following:

string source = "source Path here";
DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(source);
var subfolders = dInfo.GetDirectories(source).OrderBy(x=>x.CreationTime).ToList();

Here the result of dInfo.GetDirectories will be of type System.IO.DirectoryInfo[] you can get Name,path or any related from each object of the subfolders

You can use the DirectoryInfo. DirectoryInfo contains FileSystemInfo.CreationTime property.

var di = new DirectoryInfo(source);
var subfolders= di.EnumerateDirectories()
                  .OrderBy(d => d.CreationTime)
                  .ToList();
