Are there any alternative methods or functions in PHP that can be used to improve the sorting and display of images and thumbnails in the code snippet provided?

The issue with the provided code snippet is that it only sorts the images based on their filenames without considering their actual order. To improve the sorting and display of images and thumbnails, we can use the `scandir()` function to read the directory contents and sort the images based on their last modification time. This will ensure a more accurate sorting and display of images. 

$dir = 'path/to/images/';
$files = array_diff(scandir($dir), array('..', '.'));

usort($files, function($a, $b) use ($dir) {
    return filemtime($dir . $a) < filemtime($dir . $b);
});

foreach($files as $file) {
    echo '<img src="' . $dir . $file . '" alt="' . $file . '" />';
}
