Sorting Directory Files

[fergmj]

I have a VERY imple index.htm that merely lets the files in a directory be listed.

The files are listed alphabetically but I want to list them by most recently created first and oldest last.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Is your server PHP-enabled? 'cos I know that PHP is very good for things like this. If it is, try -

http://www.phpbuilder.com

for some scripts. Dean Owen

No, it is not. It is a very simple iPLANET server (UNIX).

Is your index page the one you get by not[/i] putting an index.html page in yourself?

i.e. You have not created it? Dean Owen

QuietDean -

Yes, I do not have an index.html page so the directory listing I get when calling the site.

Okay. Sorry, looked like I was shouting up there, but I miss-typed and everything came out in bold. Sorry!

Off-hand, I have never seen any way to adjust the directory page that is generated by the server automatically. It may be possible if you own the server, but otherwise I can't see it happening.

The other way to go is coding something yourself, either with a funky script that reads your directory, or by manually making a directory page yourself. Sorry.

Unless anyone else has seen a way to do this? Dean Owen
