Bug #12848: asort-SORT_NUMERIC inconsistent with non numeric values

From: kzi@gmx.net Operating system: win98 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: asort-SORT_NUMERIC inconsistent with non numeric values If asort() is used with the sort flag SORT_NUMERIC and the values ar non numeric, the sort order of those values should remain unchanged in principle. But in arrays with few of such non numeric items (app. < 10), the first item is generally moved to the bottom, while in arrays with more items, one element from somewhere in the middle is moved to the top. example: $q = array(1=>'A',2=>'B',3=>'C',4=>'D',5=>'E'); asort($q,SORT_NUMERIC); produces the value sequence B,C,D,E,A -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12848&edit=1
