Article PS01060659 HOWTO: Displaying file listings in a reverse order Problem Description When using the Directory collection of the Upload object to display a list of files and subfolders in a folder, the collection always returns the list sorted in an ascending order. There is no property or option to sort in a descending order. Solution The code sample DirectoryListing.asp which is shipped with AspUpload uses the following iteration method: Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload") Set Dir = Upload.Directory( "c:\MyDir\*.*", SORTBY_NAME) For Each Item in Dir    Response.Write Item.FileName Next This method returns folder items sorted by a specified criterion in an ascending order only. To reverse the sort order, use the following iteration method instead of For-Each: For i = Dir.Count to 1 Step -1    Set Item = Dir(i)    Response.Write Item.FileName Next This, however, will list files first and sub-directories second. To keep sub-directories on top while preserving the reverse order, you may use the following code: For i = Dir.Count to 1 Step -1    Set Item = Dir(i)    If Item.IsSubdirectory Then       Response.Write Item.FileName    End If Next For i = Dir.Count to 1 Step -1    Set Item = Dir(i)    If Not Item.IsSubdirectory Then       Response.Write Item.FileName    End If Next Created: 2/8/2002 5:18:38 AM Last Modified: 2/9/2002 3:26:13 PM Copyright © Persits Software, Inc. 1998 - 2019 For technical support, write to support@persits.com.
