DescriptionI'm interested in learning if there is any way to control sort order of files inside zip files using standard routines in PHP and/or Java.I'm not primarily interested in using zip/unzip using \[code\]shell_exec()\[/code\] or similar, but it can be of interest if it provides with an easy to read solution.With sort order it's safe to assume it means date/time if no sort order is available within the zip file. I've not read the specs so I wouldn't know.ExampleFilesfoo.txt
bar.txt
test.txt
newfile.txt Let's assume that each file contains the name of the file (foo.txt => foo.txt)ProblemI want to attach a sort order to the files so that when unpacked using \[code\]unzip\[/code\] the files end up in the right order. This is important why? Because i use \[code\]unzip -p\[/code\] to pipe the content of the zip file.The order in which the files are added to the archive should not matter.ResultIntended result (for the sake of this example (using unzip -p))test.txt
foo.txt
newfile.txt
bar.txt
