how to sort files in filetype "files" on front-end

[palacios000]

Is it possible to sort files inside a field "Files"? I've tryed with $page->files("sort=basename"), I guess a selector for files field is not the right way to go...

is a solution similar to this the right approach or there is an easier way? Thanks for any input.

$res = pages(1067)->files->sort("filename"); // or page()->files->sort("filename")

btw: this syntax assumes you have enabled functions API in site/config.php: $config->useFunctionsAPI = true;

otherwise you'd just use

$page->files->sort("filename");
