file sorting

[mgyth]

Is it possible, in any way, to set the way the server sorts the files in a folder?
In the same manner as you can set windows's folders to sort by date, name, last changed, etc.?

All help appreciated.

Yes you need to make a change in your httpd.conf file. Take a look at this document here :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod...exorderdefault

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
I have never done this before, where do i put the httpd.conf file. I have the site on a remote server and have no access to the server configuration files. Can it be done trough c-panel?

What do you want to sort by exactly ? You can probably do this with a .htaccess file.

i want to sort images in a folder. by date.

Ok create a file called .htaccess in that folder and within the .htaccess file place:

IndexOrderDefault Ascending Date

Change Ascending to Descending if you want to sort it the opposite way

cool,din't know you could do that, thanks alot

[Dean C]

Glad you got it working !

Do you know if it's possible to retrive the date information stored with a file trough PHP?

[Dean C]

You'll need to take a look at php's file functions, but yes it's possible You should check in the PHP Manual for that though
