note 66248 added to function.array-multisort

There is a problem with array_multisort in languages other than English. For special chars, as A with accent (Á), the sorting does not correspond to what might expect from a MySQL SELECT with ORDER BY. For example <?php foreach ($students as $key => $row){ $surname[$key] = $row['surname']; } array_multisort($surname, SORT_ASC, $students); ?> will sort the array in this way: ABADIA, ALVAREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA, ÁLVARES while a MySQL SELECT with ORDER BY nombre ASC will yield ABADIA, ÁLVARES, ALVEREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA as A and Á are considered two different representations of the same letter. ---- Server IP: 130.206.1.5 Probable Submitter: 80.34.87.62 ---- X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=8.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HEAD_ILLEGAL_CHARS,UPPERCASE_25_50 autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66248 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66248 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66248 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
