Like the man said - asort. May I recommend you to http://php.net where
you
will find the answer to most of your queries, simply by looking under a
generic area, such as array (http://php.net/array) for this particular
problem. Surely you have been around here long enough to be able to find
things in the documentation, or at least try there first, by now?
Cheers
