Sorting problem

[dbrb2]

Hi,

I'm have a directory full of image files. These have a string of letters followed by a number as their file name.

I have written a little php album to display them, but the ordering is a bit odd.

(site is at 131.111.226.136 when server is up)

I've read all the files into an array, then try to sort them before displaying them.

What I need it to be able to sort by letter, then by number. However, I'm not having much luck. For instance, photo10 comes before photo2 because 1 comes before 2...


Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

Cheers,

Ben

Have a look at the usort() function. It allows to use a user defined function to sort an array.

Your function would extract the numeric value of the filename and order by that.
