Question: I am new to PHP and developing a project called BaboonHut.com, I am coding it in PHP as the best way to learn is by just diving in. Anyway to the question, the snippet of code below currently gets the name of all the folders in a certain location and displays some information, however the items are currently displaying in alphabetical order and I would like them to display in order of folder creation. SimpleHost should be in front of Code-Game-Sleep <http://www.baboonhut.com/resources/>, Thanks in advance. 

```
<?php
$dir = 'resources/';

foreach(glob($dir.'*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $resdir) {
    $resdir = str_replace($dir, '', $resdir);
    echo "
<div class=\"span3\">
<div class=\"tile\">
<img src=\"resources/". $resdir ."/thumbnail.png\" class=\"img-rounded\">
<h3 class=\"tile-title\">". $resdir ."</h3>
<p>"; echo  include('resources/'. $resdir .'/description.txt'); echo "</p>
<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-large btn-block\" href=\"http://www.baboonhut.com/resources/" . $resdir ."/\">More Information</a>
</div>
</div>
"
;
}
?>

```

Answer: 
This will grab a list of files from a directory put them into an array then sort the array by date.

```
<?php
$dir = 'resources/';
$files = [];

foreach(glob($dir.'*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $resdir) {
    $files[] = [
        "name" => $resdir,
        "time" => filectime($resdir)
    ];
}

// Sort files by date
usort($files, function($a, $b){
    return $b["time"] - $a["time"];
});

foreach($files as $resdir) {
    $resdir = str_replace($dir, '', $resdir);
    echo <<<HTML
    <div class="span3">
    <div class="tile">
    <img src="resources/$resdir/thumbnail.png" class="img-rounded">
    <h3 class="tile-title">$resdir</h3>
    <p>
HTML;
    readfile('resources/'. $resdir .'/description.txt'); 
    echo <<<HTML
    </p>
    <a class="btn btn-primary btn-large btn-block" href="http://www.baboonhut.com/resources/$resdir/">More Information</a>
    </div>
    </div>
HTML;
}

```
You can't beat [**`DirectoryIterator`**](http://php.net/manual/pt_BR/class.directoryiterator.php).

```
$files = array();
$dir = new DirectoryIterator('.');
foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
   // Add only directories into a associative array, that key is it `MTime`
   if($fileinfo->isDir()){
       $files[$fileinfo->getMTime()] = $fileinfo->getFilename();
   }
}

// Then, key sort it.
ksort($files);

```
