after using $files = new DirectoryIterator() in PHP, how do you sort the items?

Question

We can get the files in a directory in PHP by

$files = new DirectoryIterator() 

after that is there an easy way to sort the items in a part

Answer 1

$files = new DirectoryIterator($path);
$i = 0;
$paths = array();
while($files->valid()) {
    $paths[$i++] = $files->getFileName();
    $files->next();
}
sort($paths)

May be what you are looking for, you can always of course apply the sort function to sort the paths depending on your preference after that.
