Sometimes you just need to backup and try to see the problem in a new light. Instead of building a large multi-dimensional array you might consider building two one-dimensional arrays (one for files and one for directories). That solves half of your problem right there. Then all you need to do is sort each array using asort() and you can combine them or print them out in whatever order you like. - Kevin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
