How can images be read from a directory in PHP and sorted automatically to ensure a specific order is maintained?

To read images from a directory in PHP and sort them automatically to maintain a specific order, you can use the `scandir()` function to read the files in the directory, then sort the files based on a specific criteria such as file name or modification time. Finally, you can loop through the sorted files and display them in the desired order. 

// Directory path
$dir = 'path/to/directory/';

// Read files from directory
$files = scandir($dir);

// Remove . and .. from the list
$files = array_diff($files, array('.', '..'));

// Sort files based on file name
sort($files);

// Loop through sorted files and display them
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo '<img src="' . $dir . $file . '" alt="' . $file . '">';
}
