Which utility to use for comparing multiple files and folders to find most recent version?

Mark Southern asks:

In need of a “multiple file / folder comparison utility” to compare files within multiple directories at same time to find either most recent version or other options what to compare. Then possibly to copy that file into separate directory.

Have many backups of similar / same data which has become major task to compare all files. Tried many, either difficult to use, or too simple and don’t work with multiple directories. Need help in finding right utility.
