Sort files by date in a directory (anyone knows a straight forward function?)

[Liodel]

I just want to know if there is an easier way to sort files in a directory by date

than using filemtime and sorting through array,

or is there any straight forward function for it?

 

Thank you for your ideas, codes snippet will be better.

I don't really know any. I think the only other option is stat(), but that's still sorting through an array. What's wrong with sorting through arrays though?

There's nothing wrong actually I just want to know if I'm doing it the right way.

Thanks by the way for the reply.

Well yeah, that's the way I'd do it.
