How to load images from folder by modification date or creation date?

Question

I use this code to load images from folder:

$dirname = "media/images/iconized/";
$images = glob($dirname."*.png");

foreach($images as $image) {
    echo '<img src="'.$image.'" /><br />';
}

Source: Pull all images from a specified directory and then display them

Works perfect. But load images in alphabetic order (A-Z). My question is:
