AFAIK there is no such method.

What exactly does "first file" mean? This would heavily depend on
whether you like it ordered by name, date or filesize. I believe you
should use t3lib_div::getFilesInDir() and extract the first filename
from the retunrned array on your own.

If you need this alot you may write a simple wrapper method:

function
getFirstFileInDir($path,$extensionList='',$prependPath=0,$order='',$excludePattern='')
{
	$files =
t3lib_div::getFilesInDir($path,$extensionList,$prependPath,$order,$excludePattern);
	if(count($files) > 0) {
		return $files[0];
	} else {
		return $files;
	}
}

 Marc
