How can the issue of images being sorted by size instead of name be addressed in a PHP script for a slideshow?

Issue: The issue of images being sorted by size instead of name in a PHP script for a slideshow can be addressed by using the PHP function `scandir()` to scan the directory containing the images and then sorting the resulting array alphabetically by name. 

// Get list of files in directory
$files = scandir('path/to/directory');

// Remove '.' and '..' entries
$files = array_diff($files, array('.', '..'));

// Sort files alphabetically by name
sort($files);

// Loop through sorted files and display in slideshow
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo '<img src="path/to/directory/' . $file . '" alt="' . $file . '">';
}
