I was very surprised that I couldn’t find this answer on Google.

I have seen someone access the default Apache index page (no index.html present, so it just shows the directory listing) with query string parameters. The URL they used was similar to:

http://example.com/?C=M;O=D

It looks like O=D means “order = descending,” since it reversed the order of the list, but I want to know what other parameters can be passed in, and what they mean. Is this documented somewhere? I couldn’t find it.

    From http://www.gforums.net

    “C=M;O=D” is the query string passed in to the URLs that are browseable. It’s used to sort the files list.

    O is the sort order, which can either be A or D for ascending and descending respectively.

    C is for column name which is to be sorted. It can take the following values:

    N – Name (file name) column

    M – Last Modified column

    S – Size column

    D – might be for Description
