use filemtime()

function get_files($images_dir,$exts = array('jpg')) {     $files = array();     $times = array();     if($handle = opendir($images_dir)) {         while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {             $extension = strtolower(get_file_extension($file));             if($extension && in_array($extension,$exts)) {                 $files[] = $file;                 $times[] = filemtime($images_dir . '/' . $file);             }         }         closedir($handle);     }     array_multisort($files, sort_desc, $times);     return $files; }
