Answer 1

this is not good idea but it's work for me
i am change the code in vendor/unisharp/laravel-filemanager/public/js/script.js
var sort_type = 'alphabetic';
to
var sort_type = 'time';
if you want to sort date in desc order. change the code in
vendor/unisharp/laravel-filemanager/src/Controllers/ItemsController.php
public function getItems()
{
$currentPage = self::getCurrentPageFromRequest();
$perPage = $this->helper->getPaginationPerPage();
$items = array_merge($this->lfm->folders(), $this->lfm->files());
return [
'items' => array_map(function ($item) {
return $item->fill()->attributes;
}, array_slice($items, ($currentPage - 1) * $perPage, $perPage)),
'paginator' => [
'current_page' => $currentPage,
'total' => count($items),
'per_page' => $perPage,
],
'display' => $this->helper->getDisplayMode(),
'working_dir' => $this->lfm->path('working_dir'),
];
}
with
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
public function getItems(Request $request)
{
$currentPage = self::getCurrentPageFromRequest();
$perPage = $this->helper->getPaginationPerPage();
$files = $this->lfm->files();
if($request->sort_type=='time'){
$files = array_reverse($files);
}
$items = array_merge($this->lfm->folders(), $files);
return [
'items' => array_map(function ($item) {
return $item->fill()->attributes;
}, array_slice($items, ($currentPage - 1) * $perPage, $perPage)),
'paginator' => [
'current_page' => $currentPage,
'total' => count($items),
'per_page' => $perPage,
],
'display' => $this->helper->getDisplayMode(),
'working_dir' => $this->lfm->path('working_dir'),
];
}

i'm change the code in vendor/unisharp/laravel-filemanager/src/traits/LfmHelpers.php
and it's worked
public function sortFilesAndDirectories($arr_items, $sort_type)
{
if ($sort_type == 'time') {
$key_to_sort = 'updated';
} elseif ($sort_type == 'alphabetic') {
$key_to_sort = 'name';
} else {
$key_to_sort = 'updated';
}
return strcmp($a->{$key_to_sort}, $b->{$key_to_sort});
});
return $arr_items;
}
with
public function sortFilesAndDirectories($arr_items, $sort_type)
{
if ($sort_type == 'time') {
$key_to_sort = 'updated';
} elseif ($sort_type == 'alphabetic') {
$key_to_sort = 'name';
} else {
$key_to_sort = 'updated';
}
uasort($arr_items, function ($a, $b) use ($key_to_sort) {
if ( $a->$key_to_sort == $a->$key_to_sort )
return 0;
else if ( $a->$key_to_sort > $a->$key_to_sort)
return -1;
else
return 1;
});
return $arr_items;
}

LFM 1.8:
Also, you can use this method, if you don't want to change the LFM Src code.
First use this command to generate views :
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lfm_view
Find this file:
ROOT/resources/views/vendor/laravel-filemanager/grid-view.blade.php
and change the cod according the follow:
#if((sizeof($files) > 0) || (sizeof($directories) > 0))
<div class="row">
<!-- -----------------------------------Begin of added block -->
<?php
$file_temp = [];
if($files != null){
foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
$file_temp[$value['updated']] = $value;
}
krsort($file_temp);
$file_temp1 = [];
$i = 0;
foreach ($file_temp as $key => $value) {
$file_temp1[$i] = $value;
$i+=1;
}
$files = $file_temp1;
}
?>
<!-- ---------------------------------------End of added block -->
#foreach($items as $item)
....
...
As you can see, the <?php ?> code block was added.You can use krsort() or ksort() as you want for descending or ascending.

In 2.3 I did next steps
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lfm_view
Then you can find file
ROOT/resources/views/vendor/laravel-filemanager/grid-view.blade.php
And after incuding
<script>{!! \File::get(base_path('vendor/unisharp/laravel-filemanager/public/js/script.js')) !!}</script>
I added one line of js
sort_type = 'time';
But files sorts from the oldest to the newest. Thast's why I redefined routes and ItemsController
