Is there a way to sort articles by Date instead of just Name?
Directory structure:
- Blog/2019/articleDirA, Blog/2019/articleDirB,...
- Blog/2018/articleDirA, Blog/2018/articleDirB,...
Each article directory (ex. articleB) contains these files:
- data.php
- _counter.txt
- img/
An example from data.php:
$article = array(
'date' => '2019-03-01',
'headline' => 'Hello BB!'
);
// Determine in which directory the page is located and define the correct path
if ($section === $baseDir): $actualPath = ''; else: $actualPath = '../'; endif; // result: ../;
//////////
function BlogYear() {
global $section;
$NewsFeedYear = array();
$NewsFeedYear = array_filter(glob('*'), 'is_dir'); // Determine directories (2019: articleDirA, articleDirB ...)
rsort($NewsFeedYear); // Sorts in reverse order: // 2019, 2018, 2017 ...
$currentYear = basename(getcwd()); // The current year is the last dir from a path in a string (2019)
$currentYearPath = array_filter(glob('*'), 'is_dir'); // Determine this current year directory (articleA, articleB ...)
natsort($currentYearPath); // Sorted in natural order, 2019
//////////
echo '<div>';
foreach($currentYearPath as $articleDir_name) {
require $articleDir_name.'/data.php';
echo '<article id="'.$articleDir_name.'">
<header>Article name is: <b>'.$articleDir_name.'</b></header>
<div>
<p>Date: <b>'.date("d. m. Y",strtotime($article['date'])).'</b></p>
<p>Headline: '.$article['headline'].'</p>
<p>Counter: ';
global $base_dir;
$basePath = preg_replace('/lib/', '', $base_dir);
include $basePath.$section.'/'.$currentYear.'/'.$articleDir_name.'/_counter.txt';
echo '</p>
<p>Link: <a href="'.$section.'/'.$currentYear.'/'.$articleDir_name.'">'.$articleDir_name.'</a></p></article>';
}
echo '</div>';
}
}
BlogYear();
Result in directory 2019
Article name is: articleDirA
Date: 01. 01. 2019
Headline: Hello AA!
Counter: 45
Link: Blog/2019/articleDirA/
Article name is: articleDirB
Date: 01. 03. 2019
Headline: Hello BB!
Counter: 34
Link: Blog/2019/articleDirB/
Article name is: articleDirC
Date: 01. 02. 2019
Headline: Hello CC!
Counter: 67
Link: Blog/2019/articleDirC/
Expected in directory 2019
Article name is: articleDirB
Date: 01. 03. 2019
Headline: Hello BB!
Counter: 34
Link: Blog/2019/articleDirB/
Article name is: articleDirC

Article name is: articleDirA
Date: 01. 01. 2019

The problem is that only directory names are being sorted, not the dates within each data.php file.
