These are two different things:

1. If you want multiple selection, you must add the key-value arguments
"MultiSelect", "on" in your call to uigetfile. See help uigetfile

2. If you want the windows-like file selection dialog, to sort files by
date, etc. (I assume you are on Windows):

 - With Octave 3.8 in GUI mode, uigetfile already opens that kind of
dialog by default (at least the unofficial MXE distribution).

 - In other versions of Octave that I have used, when the qt toolkit is
available, you can switch to it with:

> graphics_toolkit qt

  and then you get the windows-like dialog you want.
