I would read the contents of the directory into an array, then use the 
sort()[1] function.


Example code (wrote the below code so I could generate a dynamic html 
drop-down menu):


...
...
...
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
# Loop through directory and add files to array $html:
while ($file = readdir($the_dir)) {
# Check if it's a file, and it has a valid extension:
if(eregi((\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$, $file)) {
# Add file to array $html:
$html[] = $file;
}
}
# Close the stream:
closedir($the_dir);
# Generate the drop-down menu:
if($html == null) { die(There are no files in this directory!); } // 
If no content is found, alert user.

...
...
...

From here, in your case, I would just apply one of the PHP sort 
functions on the $html var and then print/echo your results from 
there...

Hmm, I just set-it-up on my server:

Seems to work for me. Code:

$file_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/php/test/';
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
# Loop through directory and add files to array $html:
while ($file = readdir($the_dir)) {
# Check if it's a file, and it has a valid extension:
if(eregi((\.pdf|\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$, $file)) {
# Add file to array $html:

}
}
# Close the stream:
closedir($the_dir);
# Generate the drop-down menu:
if($html == null) { die(There are no files in this directory!); } //

sort($html);
foreach($html as $html = $value) {
echo 'br /'.$value;
}

Keep in mind, the above code is very minimal... you could probably 
spend a bit of time making more secure/robust... I pulled it out of a 
function I use.


You might want to read-up on sorting via PHP.net (in comments section) 
for more robust user-defined functions...


Hth!
