I would read the contents of the directory into an array, then use the
sort()[1] function.
Example code (wrote the below code so I could generate a dynamic html
drop-down menu):
....
....
....
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
# Loop through directory and add files to array $html:
while ($file = readdir($the_dir)) {
# Check if it's a file, and it has a valid extension:
if(eregi("(\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$", $file)) {
# Add file to array $html:
$html[] = $file;
}
}
# Close the stream:
closedir($the_dir);
# Generate the drop-down menu:
if($html == null) { die("There are no files in this directory!"); } //
If no content is found, alert user.
....
....
....
From here, in your case, I would just apply one of the PHP sort
functions on the $html var and then print/echo your results from
there...
