Re: Sort a text string by last word before separator

This code returns the names in the format in which they are given. You can speed it up a bit by having it return the names in 'lastname, firstname' format. For this, change

        $names[$name[0]] = join(', ', $tmp);

to

        $names[$i] = join(', ', $tmp);

and remove the lines:

    asort($names);

Don't remove the above line; just change it to:

    sort($names);

    $names = array_keys($names);
