Req #62840 [NEW]: Add sort flag to ArrayObject::ksort

From: bert at becoded dot be Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.5 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Add sort flag to ArrayObject::ksort Description: ------------ When mixing numeric and strings for the keys, you can get unexpected results. With the ksort, you can specify a sort flag (see the flags on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php). Using that, you are able to change the sort behaviour. It would be great if we could specify the same sort flag for ArrayObject::ksort. So instead of public void ArrayObject::ksort ( void ) it would be public void ArrayObject::ksort ( [ int $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR ]) Test script: --------------- <?php $list = array('key_3' => 'Value 3', 'Unknown key 1', 'key_1' => 'Value 1', 'key_2' => 'Value 2', 'key_0' => 'Value 0', 'Unknown key 2'); ksort($list); var_dump($list); ksort($list, SORT_STRING); var_dump($list); $list = new ArrayObject(); $list->offsetSet('key_3', 'Value 3'); $list->append('Unknown key 1'); $list->offsetSet('key_1', 'Value 1'); $list->offsetSet('key_2', 'Value 2'); $list->offsetSet('key_0', 'Value 0'); $list->append('Unknown key 2'); $list->ksort(); //$list->ksort(SORT_STRING); var_dump($list); Expected result: ---------------- If $list->ksort(SORT_STRING) would work, then I would expect object(ArrayObject)[1689] string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13) string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13) public 'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7) public 'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7) public 'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7) public 'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7) Actual result: -------------- //ksort array (size=6) 'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7) 'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7) 0 => string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13) 'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7) 'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7) 1 => string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13) //ksort with sort flag SORT_STRING array (size=6) 0 => string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13) 1 => string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13) 'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7) 'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7) 'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7) 'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7) //ArrayObject::ksort object(ArrayObject)[1689] public 'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7) public 'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7) string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13) public 'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7) public 'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7) string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62840&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62840&r=mysqlcfg
