Change Sort Order to Display Newest File First

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi Guys,

I have a page that sorts the contents (PDFs) of a directory and displays them on the webpage chronologically from the oldest (at top) to the newest (at bottom).

I'd like to reverse this display order and have the latest files display at the top with oldest at the bottom. The code is seen below:

Thanks in advance!!!

<?php
$dir = opendir('../../files/main/group/info');
$i = 0;
// begin subdirectory processing
$subdir = "../../files/main/group/info"."/";
$cwd = opendir($subdir);
echo '<ul style="list-style: none;"><strong>';
while ($file = readdir($cwd)) {
if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..") && ($file != "README.txt")) {
$link = rawurlencode($file);
$tmp = basename($file, ".pdf");
$filename = date('F d, Y',strtotime($tmp));
echo '<li><img src="../../images/icons/pdf.gif" alt="PDF Document" />&nbsp;<a href="' . $subdir, $link . '" target="_blank">' . $filename . '</a>';
}
}
echo "</strong></ul>";
?>
