Exactly. If the directory doesn't list the files in chronological order
internally, I'd have to save the directory entries into an array (I don't
think PHP supports lists, per se), sort it, then read in the files from
the array.
The whole point of the exercise was to avoid all the programming overhead
of havign to put the darn things into a database, and I figured a
filesystem-based system would be faster and easier to maintain. The
problem is that if I modify files, the directory sort order gets
completely hosed.
Personally, I'm still not convinced that one can't edit the directory
directly, although I'd like to avoid having to muck around with inodes.
The KISS principle would be shredded if I have to do that.
