## General

A nuget package that provides a class `SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter` derived from `HtmlDirectoryFormatter` [Link](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/main/src/Middleware/StaticFiles/src/HtmlDirectoryFormatter.cs), which will render the file list sorted by the `LastModified` property in descending order.

## Usage

[![SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter on fuget.org](https://www.fuget.org/packages/SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter/badge.svg)](https://www.fuget.org/packages/SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter)

```bash

dotnet add package SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter

```

```csharp

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)

{

    app.UseDirectoryBrowser(new DirectoryBrowserOptions

    {

        FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(rootDirectory),

        RequestPath = "/your-request-path",

        Formatter = new SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter()

    });

}

```

## Background

The extension method `UseDirectoryBrowser` generates a table that sorts the output by filename. This is not a super helpful behavior when it comes to some scenarios. e.g. Directory Browser on a folder full of files with random file names.

According to [this github issue](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/20174) there is no plan to add a feature to sort this.

Hence I created this nuget package for this.
