@echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/a-d/o-d') do (
copy %%a d:\mystuff & goto :eof)

If you are asking about M2's code
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/a-d/o-d') do (
copy %%a d:\mystuff & goto :eof)
The directory is listed in reverse chronological order (most recent first) and as soon as the first (i.e. most recent) file is copied, the loop exits using goto.
