glob() - sort by date

I want to sort files based on uploaded date by using php glob. How do I sort it by showing the latest 'modified'/uploaded pic 1st on the list?

<?php
$files = glob("uploaded_files/*.*");
for ($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++) { 
    $num = $files[$i];
    asort($files);
    echo '<img src="'.$num.'" style="height:180px; width:180px; border:2px solid black; margin:20px 0px 10px  10px; *margin:10px 0px 10px 20px;" />'."&nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
}
?>

@ShazeryNasir "doesn't work" is a very broad description of a problem – Explosion Pills Jan 31 '13 at 05:25
sorry. by doesnt work i mean that the page doesnt show. it crash. – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 05:34
what version of php are you using? – Explosion Pills Jan 31 '13 at 05:35
the php version is 5.3.20 – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 05:38
This works for me on PHP 5.4.6 .. I'd be surprised if it wasn't working on PHP 5.3 though. Have you tried running it from the command line? – Explosion Pills Jan 31 '13 at 05:39
is the 'for' action causing the problem? mind seeing my whole code? – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 05:55
My code doesn't use `for`. Are you using your code or my code? – Explosion Pills Jan 31 '13 at 05:56
im adding your code to my code. since i need to also style the images that is being shown on the page – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 05:59
Sorry, don't do that. My code is supposed to do what you want to do by itself. Just use my code and then `var_dump($files)` to see if it's working; *then* you can work on markup – Explosion Pills Jan 31 '13 at 06:01
when i use var_dump. it lists the array of files. it doesnt display the images inside the folder – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 06:06
it displays the array of files available inside the folder. just text – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 06:18
Okay great, so it's working. *After* my code, do `foreach ($files as $file) { echo ""; }` – Explosion Pills Jan 31 '13 at 06:27
thanks a lot Explosion Pills (im guessing its not your real name ;p) for your help. it works. :) – Shazery Nasir Jan 31 '13 at 06:37
