This works to an extent, i can sort the date, but i can't sort the file accordingly to the date. Is there anyway to do this?

Doesn't Anyone know this?

You need to output your date string in a manner that will sort numerically.

06042006 for June 4th 2006 won't sort like you want it to.

20060604 will sort correctly, because the heirarchy is in the same direction.


06042006 > 03042008 (wrong)

20060604 < 20080304 (right!)


After that just do something like assign to an array with the date as the key and then do a ksort.

[code]
(inside your while loop)
$filesArray[$date] = $filename;
(end while loop)


ksort($filesArray);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($filesArray);
echo '</pre>
[/code]
