Read the images into an array and then sort the array...glob() gives
you that array so use one of the many sort functions as you like to
get the order you want

All the images I have that go together have the same name.

So by using a where clause in a MySQL select statement and some php, I'd be
able to grab the result set with the same name.

I've played with the return and echo so much today I've finally realized
I'm going in circles. But I can say I understand it more than ever.
Now whats on my mind is breaking out of this circle and doing more with
this code. What I am trying to do now is instead of having ALL the images
display, I want to try and group them by their name.
If I were using SQL I'd simply use a where clause and be done with it,
but
I'm not sure what would acomplish the same thing or similiar to a where
clause in php.
I dont' see how a where clause in sql provides you with a result that
organizes the images by name.
All the images I have that go together have the same name.

True dat. So why don't you just change the "prefix" value coming into
your function? Or - run it once for all prefixes, build a 2nd array of
the unique ones, sort them, display them, let the user pick one, then
re-run it for that prefix alone.

About five-and-a-half years ago, we had a brainteasers thread
going on[1]. Last year it was briefly resurrected[2], and both times
got some good content and dialogue going. So I'd like to reprise the
thread in 2012, as well. Those of you connected to me on Facebook
(parasane) or Twitter (@oidk) might already have seen it, but a simple
one to get things rolling:
