$media = array();

    $di = new DirectoryIterator($dir);
    foreach ($di as $fileinfo) {
        $path_info = pathinfo($fileinfo->getPathname());
        if(isset($path_info['extension'])){
            if(in_array(strtolower($path_info['extension']), $allowed_files)){
                $fn = $fileinfo->getPathname();
                $media[] = array( 
                    "SITE_URL" => SITE_URL, 
                    "SITEPATH" => SITEPATH, 
                    "fullpath" => SITE_URL.'/'.path2url(realpath($path_info['dirname'])).'/'.$path_info['basename'],  
                    "basename" => $path_info['basename'], 
                    "extension" => $path_info['extension'],
                    "dirname" => realpath($path_info['dirname']),
                    "filename" => $path_info['filename']

DirectoryIterator only gives access to access Time, modification time or inode change time. If your files have not been changed since creation, modification time will be the same and you can then save that time in the $media array and then sort the array using array_multisort:

$media = array();

$di = new DirectoryIterator($dir);
foreach ($di as $fileinfo) {
    $path_info = pathinfo($fileinfo->getPathname());
    if(isset($path_info['extension'])){
        if(in_array(strtolower($path_info['extension']), $allowed_files)){
            $fn = $fileinfo->getPathname();
            $media[] = array( 
                "SITE_URL" => SITE_URL, 
                "SITEPATH" => SITEPATH, 
                "fullpath" => SITE_URL.'/'.path2url(realpath($path_info['dirname'])).'/'.$path_info['basename'],  
                "basename" => $path_info['basename'], 
                "extension" => $path_info['extension'],
                "dirname" => realpath($path_info['dirname']),
                "filename" => $path_info['filename'],
                "mtime" => $fileinfo->getMTime()
            ); 
        }
    }
}
array_multisort(array_column($media, 'mtime'), SORT_ASC, $media);
