reading dir, arranging by newest

[Alkaif]

Hi there,
I am using this code created by SpikeZ to list a content of a directory.

$the_array = Array(); 
$handle = opendir('/usr/'); 
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { /* as descripted below: these "files" will not be added to the array */ 
$the_array[] = $file; 
} 
} 
closedir($handle); 
foreach ($the_array as $element) { 
echo "$element"; 
echo '<br>'; 
} 

But now, I was wondering, is there a way to arrage the output by the newest file(eg, arrange by the Date of Creation)? and also high light it in bold?

Here is a solution for sorting files. (posted it )

Another way I could think of would be to read the filemtime() of that file while reading the filename itself in the while loop (best if you read both name and filemtime into one array) and then using array_multisort() to sort the array by time.
