Synopsis

IndexOrderDefault Ascending|Descending Name|Date|Size|Description 
Server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess 
IndexOrderDefault is only available in Apache 1.3.4 and later. 

The IndexOrderDefault directive is used in combination with the FancyIndexing index option. By default, FancyIndexed directory listings are displayed in ascending order by filename; IndexOrderDefault allows you to change this initial display order.

IndexOrderDefault takes two arguments. The first must be either Ascending or Descending, indicating the direction of the sort. The second argument must be one of the keywords Name, Date, Size, or Description and identifies the primary key. The secondary key is always the ascending filename.

You can force a directory listing to be displayed only in a particular order by combining this directive with the SuppressColumnSorting index option; this will prevent the client from requesting the directory listing in a different order.
