I think I may have written down my variable structure incorrectly in the first place, which even has me confused...
The $file_array[$filename] is I don't think a further array. The "sub" values are created as follows: $file_array[$filename]["Date"] = ... $file_array[$filename]["Size"] = ... Looking at usort, it will put the list of Dates in order (by doing a pure if is bigger or smaller...) but will loose the link between the particular filename and it's date properties. Does that make sense - or am I loosing the plot? Am I also making a mistake by not defining $file_array[$filename]? I don't think so, but would be happy to be corrected!
