So, I\'m familiar with Javascript, HTML, and Python. I have never learned PHP, and at the moment, I\'m banging my head against my desk trying to figure out what (to me) seems t

I try your code and make simple changes and I am able to do what you want to get.

Here is my code ( copy of your code + Modify ) :

function listAlbums() {
$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir('./photos/')) {
    while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") {
            //echo $entry . "
";
            $files[] = $entry;
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
// Sort your folder in ascending order
sort($files);

// Sort your folder in descending order [ code commented ]
//rsort($files);

// Check your photos folder has folder or not 
if( !empty( $files ) ) {
    // Show Your Folders 
    foreach ($files as $key => $folderName ) {
        echo $folderName . "
";
    }
} else {
    echo 'You have no folder yet in photos directory';
}

}

My Changes:

1. First store your all folders in the photos directory in an array variable
2. Secondly sort this array whatever order you want.
3. Finally show your folders (And your work will be solved)

You can know more about this from sort-and-display-directory-list-alphabetically-using-opendir-in-php
