I am using the following PHP script to list the contents on a folder called "minutes." <?php if ($handle = opendir('./minutes/')) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { $thelist .= ''.$file.' '; } } closedir($handle); } ?> Is there a simple way to have the list that is returned sorted by the date the file was modified? -Ryan Adams http://RyanTAdams.com

Got it, nevermind -Ryan Adams http://RyanTAdams.com

Here is a solution that, based on the archaic PHP3-style example code, is most likely better than what the OP came up with. ;) // Grab all files from the desired folder $files = glob( './minutes/*.*' ); // Sort files by modified time, latest to earliest // Use SORT_ASC in place of SORT_DESC for earliest to latest array_multisort( array_map( 'filemtime', $files ), SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $files ); // do whatever you want with $files print_r( $files );
