Re: Sorting Arrays

You need to create the array before you can sort it. Something like this should work, I think. $d = dir("/your/path"); while($artist_list=$d->read()) { if(is_dir("path/$artist_list")) { $artist[] = $artist_list; } } sort($artist); foreach($artist as $value) { echo "$value<BR>\n"; } $d->close(); ?> -----Original Message----- From: "Phillip S.
