Are there any alternative methods or functions that can be used to achieve the desired descending sorting of images in PHP?

To achieve descending sorting of images in PHP, we can use the `usort` function along with a custom comparison function that sorts the images based on their timestamps in descending order. 

// Array of image file paths
$images = array("image3.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg");

// Custom comparison function to sort images by timestamp in descending order
function compareImages($a, $b) {
    $timeA = filemtime($a);
    $timeB = filemtime($b);
    
    if ($timeA == $timeB) {
        return 0;
    }
    return ($timeA > $timeB) ? -1 : 1;
}

// Sort images array in descending order
usort($images, "compareImages");

// Output sorted images
print_r($images);
