Question

I have a table with numerical values as the first column, however it is totally unordered 🙁 I was wondering if there is a way to order the rows (highest number at the top) without using JavaScript?

Here is some code that maybe helpful on how I get the data:

$dh = opendir( $dirname ) or die("couldn't open directory");
$start = isset($_GET['start']) ? (intval($_GET['start'])-1)*$bl_anzeige : 0;
while ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) {
if ($file{0} != '.') {
  $xzal=$i++;
  if($xzal>= $start && $xzal<$start+$pps2) {
  $filecrc = str_replace(".txt","",$file);
  $filesize = filesize("./storage/". $filecrc);
  $filesize = ($filesize / 1048576);
  $fh = fopen ("./files/".$file, r);
  $filedata= explode('|', fgets($fh));
<tr><td class="filelist" align=center bgcolor=#F9F9F9><?php echo $filedata[11];?></td>

Instead of printing each row out directly, save all rows together into an array and then use one of PHP’s many array sorting functions.
