note 61305 added to function.sort

Faster, more effective function: array_sort (array, ['asc'/'desc']) Second parameter specifies whether to order ascending or descending. Default is ascending. function array_sort($array, $type='asc'){ $result=array(); foreach($array as $var => $val){ $set=false; foreach($result as $var2 => $val2){ if($set==false){ if($val>$val2 && $type=='desc' || $val<$val2 && $type=='asc'){ $temp=array(); foreach($result as $var3 => $val3){ if($var3==$var2) $set=true; if($set){ $temp[$var3]=$val3; unset($result[$var3]); } } $result[$var]=$val; foreach($temp as $var3 => $val3){ $result[$var3]=$val3; } } } } if(!$set){ $result[$var]=$val; } } return $result; } Works for ordering by integers or strings, no need to specify which. Example: $array=array('a' => 50, 'b' => 25, 'c' => 75); print_r(array_sort($array)); Returns: Array ( [b] => 25 [a] => 50 [c] => 75 ) ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.224.50.127 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61305 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61305&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61305&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
