Programming

hi all,
im using dirent.h headers readdir() function to traverse down a directory ( after openning it with opendir() ), and im printing the dir->d_name in a program.

Code:

while(( dir = readdir( d ) ) != NULL ){
	
   if (stat([path+dir->d_name], &info) != 0){ 
      fprintf(stderr, "stat() error on %s: %s\n", path, strerror(errno));
      continue;
      }

if (S_ISDIR(info.st_mode) || S_ISREG(info.st_mode)) { 
   printf("%s\n", dir->d_name);
}
else{continue;}

}

note:[path+dir->d_name] is the path and current dir entrys name.

but the output this gives is not sorted according to any parameter(name, date.etc..).
is there a way to get such a sorted output using above dirent.h function calls or any other.
any help is greatly appreciated.
