sorting help

[amykhar]

I have a directory with a bunch of files in it that have filenames that look like 100.html 101.html 102.html 1001.html 1002.html 999.html etc.

I need to sort the filenames numerically. Right now, they are coming up like this:

100.html
1000.html
1001.html
1002.html
1003.html
1004.html
1005.html
1006.html
1007.html
1008.html
1009.html
101.html
1010.html
1011.html
1012.html

How can I get these things sorted easily so I can process through the files in the correct order?

in php?

you should stript the .html then you can do the sorting by integer, and afterwards add the .html again

ok. Thanks. I was hoping there was a lazy way to do it.

isn't that the lazy way? ^^

but looking at php.net brought a very nice function:

natsort(array &array)

that does what you want regarding the description
