Sort Array By Date for XML Playlist

[shansen1111]

Hello-

I am outputting an XML playlist. Right now the code I am using sorts the playlist alphabetically, I would like it to sort by date uploaded. any help would really be appreciated.

 

I found a snippet of code that works in another XML generator I have, but not in this one:

$items[$entry]['mtime'] = filemtime($entry);

 

Here is the code I am currently running to generate the playlist:

<?
/**
* Produce an XPSF playlist on the fly from files in a given folder

* If you use this software and find it useful please drop me an email - [email protected]
* I'd like to build a list of people using the script which I'll publish on my site, so please do get in touch.

* Code uses snippets from http://getid3.sourceforge.net/source2/d ... dhtml.phps
* Using getID3 library from http://getid3.sourceforge.net/
