rsort(array_combine(array2, array1)); you should expect array( 'Personal Email' => 75, 'USPS mail' => 40, 'Personal Phone' => 31, 'Web site' => 31, 'Text Message' => 31 ) logically, the items are your key but not the count of votes

That's the ticket. The solution is pretty simple now that we understand the nature of the problem. :-) Andrew

Andrew: Half the solution is understanding the problem. However, the above solution only solves half the problem.

Maybe I'm confused... but can't the following be used? <?php

    array_multisort( $votes, SORT_DESC, $items, SORT_DESC );
    $final = array_combine( $items, $votes );

    print_r( $final );
