I've dicovered that is not true your example: sort function do not return any value (void function). Also, Perl sort function return id's of the source array ordered, but PHP sort function order the source array and that is not the same I need. Do you know how can I do the same as you saw in my previous Perl code with PHP ? Thanks in advance. Javier
