There are currently functions in PHP for sorting single arrays this way (natsort, natcasesort), but nothing exists for a multisort. It would be great to see a SORT_NATURAL option in the array_multisort function. Test script: --------------- $a = array( 'Second', 'First', 'Twentieth', 'Tenth', 'Third', ); $b = array( '2 a', '1 b', '20 c', '10 d', '3 e', ); array_multisort($b, SORT_NATURAL, $a); var_dump($a, $b); Expected result: ---------------- array 0 => string 'First' (length=5) 1 => string 'Second' (length=6) 2 => string 'Third' (length=5) 3 => string 'Tenth' (length=5) 4 => string 'Twentieth' (length=9) array 0 => string '1 b' (length=3) 1 => string '2 a' (length=3) 2 => string '3 e' (length=3) 3 => string '10 d' (length=4) 4 => string '20 c' (length=4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55158&edit=1
