As mentioned by Colin in his comment, the integrated server is intended for debugging purposes only, therefore you should expect it to not have all the features you would expect of a full server.

Index of ".$dir.":";
$g = glob("*");
usort($g,function($a,$b) {
    if(is_dir($a) == is_dir($b))
        return strnatcasecmp($a,$b);
    else
        return is_dir($a) ? -1 : 1;
});
echo implode("
",array_map(function($a) {return ''.$a.'';},$g));
