The Finder component provides utilities to find files/directories via multiple filter and sort methods. In Symfony 6.2 we're adding new sorting methods to it.

The Finder component already includes methods to filter files/directories by file extension and or/size, but you couldn't sort results based on them. In Symfony 6.2 we've added new methods to sort by file extension and/or size:
use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;
$finder = (new Finder())
->in(__DIR__)
// ...
->sortByExtension()
->sortBySize();

In Symfony 6.2 we've also added a new method to sort files/directories by their
names in a case-insensitive way. Internally, it uses the strcasecmp() PHP
function to perform the sorting:
$finder = (new Finder())
->in(__DIR__)
// ...
// this sorts results case-insensitive and using the "machine sorting" algorithm
// e.g. "file1.txt", "File10.txt", "File2.txt", "file3.txt"
->sortByCaseInsensitiveName()
// this sorts results case-insensitive and using the "natural sorting" algorithm
// e.g. "file1.txt", "File2.txt", "file3.txt", "File10.txt"
->sortByCaseInsensitiveName(true);Because of their own nature, all these new methods need to retrieve all results before sorting them, so they can impact performance.
