Because you have not removed the file from its folder ... Think of the file system like a webdna database, because that's what it is -- a database. You can change field values such as date fields for example, but this does not change the position of the record in the database, it only changes the field values while leaving the db record in the exact same position. Only way to change the record position is to delete the record (which in the case of the file system's database means removing the file from its folder) then to append it again (which means moving the file back into that same folder). This will put the newly appended file system record for that file at the bottom (or the end) of its db file, which will 'change the order' in which it appears in listfiles. -- Kenneth Grome WebDNA Programmer Outsource Service Provider Phone: +6332 255-6591 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
