<title>Sorting Arrays</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
PHP has several functions that deal with sorting arrays, and this
|
||||
document exists to help sort it all out.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The main differences are:
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<simplelist>
|
||||
<member>
|
||||
Some sort based on the <type>array</type> keys, whereas others by
|
||||
the values: <literal>$array['key'] = 'value';</literal>
|
||||
</member>
|
||||
<member>
|
||||
Whether or not the correlation between the keys and values are
|
||||
maintained after the sort, which may mean the keys are reset
|
||||
numerically (0,1,2 ...)
|
||||
</member>
|
||||
<member>
|
||||
The order of the sort: alphabetical, low to high (ascending),
|
||||
high to low (descending), numerical, natural, random, or user defined
|
||||
</member>
|
||||
<member>
|
||||
Note: All of these sort functions act directly on the array
|
||||
variable itself, as opposed to returning a new sorted array

||||
