General

A nuget package that provides a class SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter derived from HtmlDirectoryFormatter Link, which will render the file list sorted by the LastModified property in descending order.

Usage

dotnet add package SortedHtmlDirectoryFormatter

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 there is no plan to add a feature to sort this.

Hence I created this nuget package for this.
