Re: Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #5730 Updated: sort and rsort are not 'opposites'

It is not random. PHP tries to convert all keys to numbers. This is standard behaviour for almost every array operation in PHP. j>> However, I would expect the results from sort and rsort to be j>> symmetric... which they aren't. Well, in fact nobody promised you this. When you get sort with duplicates (i.e., keys having same sort value), you won't get sort and rsort symmetric. j>> Using SORT_STRING in the above two examples gives: j>> 0 01 02 1 2 j>> 2 1 02 01 0 j>> j>> which is clearly string sorting.
