Sorting Help Please

[Beauchy]

Cannot get it to sort according to date...

The problem is that I cannot change the file names but they are all in this format:

JAREPORT 05-05-06.txt
JAREPORT 05-07-06.txt
JAREPORT 06-01-06.txt

I want to display the files as links in a table according to month in descending order... eg 31, 30, 29, etc...

Everything works except the sorting...

How can I sort those files?

Thanks, Beauchy

Put them in an array and use a custom sort function. For example, this sorts the middle part of the date in descending order
[code]
$files = array(
    'JAREPORT 05-05-06.txt',
    'JAREPORT 05-07-06.txt',
    'JAREPORT 06-01-06.txt'
);

usort ($files, 'monthsort');

// check results
echo '<pre>', print_r($files, true), '</pre>';

function monthsort($a, $b) {
   $ma = substr($a, 12, 2);
   $mb = substr($b, 12, 2);
   return -strcmp($ma, $mb);
}    [/code]
