#45505 [Bgs]: DirectoryIterator default sorting error

ID: 45505 User updated by: jcknight at gmail dot com Reported By: jcknight at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: SPL related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: That is the problem, as it does not return the files in the order that the operating system provides. In the file system, the order is: enter_L.gif enter_R.gif mad_L.gif mad_R.gif but the DirectoryIterator provides the files as enter_L.gif mad_L.gif enter_R.gif mad_R.gif Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-14 09:52:24] johannes@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php There is no sorting guaranteed and the files are returned in the order the operating system provides. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-13 23:25:25] jcknight at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The DirectoryIterator class does not iterate the directory how it is organized on the file system.
