The query options are of the form <SAMP>X=Y</SAMP>, where +<SAMP>X</SAMP> is one of <SAMP>N</SAMP> (file <EM>N</EM>ame), +<SAMP>M</SAMP> (file last <EM>M</EM>odified date), <SAMP>S</SAMP> +(file <EM>S</EM>ize, or <SAMP>D</SAMP> (file <EM>D</EM>escription), +and <SAMP>Y</SAMP> is one of <SAMP>A</SAMP> (<EM>A</EM>scending) or +<SAMP>D</SAMP> (<EM>D</EM>escending).</p> + +<p>When options other than the file name are used as the sorting key, the +secondary key is always the file name. (When the file name is used to +sort by, there is no need of a secondary sort key, since file names +are guaranteed to be unique, and so the sort order is +unambiguous.)</p> + +<p>Example:</p> + +<p>If the URL <SAMP>http://your.server.name/foo/</SAMP> produces a +directory index, then the following URLs will produce different sort +orders:</p> + +<ul> +<li><SAMP>http://your.server.name/foo/?M=D</SAMP> sorts the directory +by last modified date, descending.</li> +<li><SAMP>http://your.server.name/foo/?D=A</SAMP> sorts the directory +by file description, ascending.</li> +<li><SAMP>http://your.server.name/foo/?S=A</SAMP> sorts the directory +by file size, ascending.</li> +</ul> + +<p>See <A HREF="#indexorderdefault"><SAMP>IndexOrderDefault</SAMP></A> +to set the default directory ordering.</p> + +<p>Note also that when the directory listing is ordered in one +direction (ascending or descending) by a particular column, the link at +the top of that column then reverses, to allow sorting in the opposite +direction by that same column.</p> + <HR> <H2><A NAME="addalt">AddAlt</A> directive</H2>
