Re: restating plea for help with sort

To append my own answer. In order to sort the non "n/a" values you're going to have to build a separate array and perhaps this will simplfy the problem. So instead of what I suggested below.. loop the array and start TWO new arrays within the loop. One array for "n/a" values and one for non-"n/a" values. After the values are sorted to their separate arrays do asort($nonnavals); then concatonate the two arrays together using array_merge(), putting the "n/a" array second. - Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Stone" <kevin@helpelf.com> To: <jim@jimlong.net>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 12:04 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] restating plea for help with sort > Hmm well upon first glance looks like all you need to do is loop that array > and start a new array within the loop.
