What is the best way to order files in a folder by their modification date using PHP?

To order files in a folder by their modification date using PHP, you can use the `glob` function to retrieve an array of file paths, then use `filemtime` to get the modification time of each file. Finally, you can sort the array based on the modification date. 

$files = glob('/path/to/folder/*');
usort($files, function($a, $b) {
    return filemtime($a) < filemtime($b);
});

foreach($files as $file) {
    echo $file . ' - Last modified: ' . date("Y-m-d H:i:s", filemtime($file)) . PHP_EOL;
}
