Hmm well upon first glance looks like all you need to do is loop that array and start a new array within the loop. An If/Else construct checks If the value is "n/a" then append to the back of the new array Else prepend to the front of the new array. You append the values manually or use array_push() and array_unshift(). Search the manual for more information. Hope that helps. - Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Long" <jim@jimlong.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 11:35 AM Subject: [PHP] restating plea for help with sort > Hi, > > I have an array with an html link as key and different $vars as val: > > $list = array ( > '<a href="http://someplace.com/">some > place</a>' => $vendor1_total, > '<a > href="http://anotherplace.com/">another > place</a>' => $vendor2__total, > [snip] etc.. > > some vals are numeric and some vals are "n/a" > asort works to sort the array as a string, however, I need to sort the > numeric vals numeric, then have the n/a's go away or be output at the > bottom of the sort. > > Please be clear and gentle..
