Notice that the ``sort*`` methods need to get all matching elements to do
their jobs. For large iterators, it is slow.
By default, the ``sortByName()`` method uses the :phpfunction:`strcmp` PHP
function (e.g. ``file1.txt``, ``file10.txt``, ``file2.txt``). Pass ``true``
as its argument to use PHP's `natural sort order`_ algorithm instead (e.g.
``file1.txt``, ``file2.txt``, ``file10.txt``).

.. versionadded:: 4.2
The option to use the natural sort order was introduced in Symfony 4.2.

You can also define your own sorting algorithm with ``sort()`` method::

$finder->sort(function (\SplFileInfo $a, \SplFileInfo $b) {
return strcmp($a->getRealPath(), $b->getRealPath());
});
