Plesk's Awstats show Select Period in wrong order
Plesk generates web statistics using awstats. The “Select Period” drop down box is created with all the month dates in a random order which is not very helpful! It makes selecting the month you want tricky.
The following code checks which domains are using awstats and will re-jig their nav.html files to put them all in the correct order. Place the following program into your cron to run after awstats has completed.
The simplest way to find out when awstats completes, is to check the creation time of the nav.html file and add 30 minutes to be safe.

You have to love ed! It is (as far as I know) the only editor that is described as WYGIWYG.
This is the second problem with Plesk and awstats. I have documented Plesk Awstat forgetting about the monthly statistics here.
