PHP - How to search folder images per order

I have the following code to search the folder /images/ for images and echo them. However, it displays the images from a random order everytime I refresh the page. The images are named 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Any way to make it so that the last number (ex: 4) is the first one being displayed and so on?

<?php
    $dirname = "images";
    $images = scandir($dirname);
    shuffle($images);
    $ignore = Array(".", "..");
    foreach($images as $curimg){
        if(!in_array($curimg, $ignore)) {
            echo "<img src=\"". $dirname . '/' . $curimg ."\">" ;
        }
    }               
?>

Thanks in advance.

This is due to your shuffle. You are randomizing your array. Let me introduce you to: http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-reverse.php which is 

<?php
    $dirname = "images";
    $images = scandir($dirname);
    $images = arsort(array_reverse($images, true));
    $ignore = Array(".", "..");
    foreach($images as $curimg){
        if(!in_array($curimg, $ignore)) {
            echo "<img src=\"". $dirname . '/' . $curimg ."\">" ;
        }
    }               
?>

Update: 

$dirname = "Images";
$images = scandir($dirname);
sort($images,SORT_NUMERIC);
krsort($images);
$ignore = Array(".", "..");
foreach($images as $curimg){
    if(!in_array($curimg, $ignore)) {
        echo "<img src=\"". $dirname . '/' . $curimg ."\"> \n" ;
    }
}

What I have been working with:

Without the sort(); and krsort(); i return: 

<img src="Images/1.png"> 
<img src="Images/10.png"> 
<img src="Images/11.png"> 
<img src="Images/2.png"> 
<img src="Images/3.png"> 
<img src="Images/4.png"> 
<img src="Images/5.png"> 
<img src="Images/6.png"> 
<img src="Images/7.png"> 
<img src="Images/8.png"> 
<img src="Images/9.png">

With the krsort and sort.. I return: 

<img src="Images/11.png"> 
<img src="Images/10.png"> 
<img src="Images/9.png"> 
<img src="Images/8.png"> 
<img src="Images/7.png"> 
<img src="Images/6.png"> 
<img src="Images/5.png"> 
<img src="Images/4.png"> 
<img src="Images/3.png"> 
<img src="Images/2.png"> 
<img src="Images/1.png">

Which I presume is what you are looking for.

<?php

$dirname = "images";
$files = scandir($dirname, 1); // using SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING PHP 5.4+ ONLY!
foreach ($files as $file) {
 if ($file !== '.' && $file !== '..') {
     echo "<img src=\"". $dirname . '/' . $file ."\">" ;
}
}
?>

You could try to load image names into array, than sort array and then echo image tags

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-reverse.php

should be the right function instead of shuffle

UPDATE:

Better would be to sort it directly via scandir:

$images = scandir($dirname, SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING);
