Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=6512&edit=1 ID: 6512 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: jmoore@php.net Summary: sort() Does not sort stings as expected -Status: Analyzed +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 4.0.2 Block user comment: N New Comment: Expected behavior. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-03 08:35:55] jmoore@php.net OK Chaning to feature/change request and reopening. (The function isnt really misbehaving...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-03 08:31:45] waldschrott@php.net well, natcasesort() does this for natural sorting, but regular/string/numeric sorting can´t be sorted cased... not sure if it should be closed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-03 08:26:36] jmoore@php.net natcasesort() and natsort() do this, I will add a see also for natcasesort to sort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-03 07:21:36] waldschrott@php.net I´d vote for adding another option to all sorting functions, like SORT_CASED, maybe the bit way asort($x,SORT_STRING|SORT_CASED) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-03 07:12:43] jmoore@php.net When using sort, it sorts by ASCII code and not alphabetically, this might be what was intended but the function does not behave as might be expected, take the following example: <?php $test = array("AA","AC","AR","AJ","Ab"); asort($test); var_dump($test); ?> Does not ourput AA,Ab,AC,AJ,AR But infact AA,AC,AJ,AR,Ab Now this is due to Ascii Char codes. Perhaps a warning should be added to the manual if this behaviour stays the same.
