note 107199 added to function.natsort

A natural key sorting function that won't loose data. Using an array_flip technique might be faster but can loose data if the initial values are not all unique. <?php /** * keyNatSort does a natural sort via key on the supplied array. * * @param $array The array to natural sort via key. * @param $saveMemory If true will delete values from the original array as it builds the sorted array. * @return Sorted array on success. Boolean false if sort failed or null if the object was not an array. */ function keyNatSort($array, $saveMemory=false) { if(is_array($array)) { $keys = array_keys($array); if(natsort($keys)) { $result = array(); foreach($keys as $key) { $result[$key] = $array[$key]; if($saveMemory) unset($array[$key]); } } else $result = false; } else $result = null; return $result; } ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.55 Probable Submitter: 209.90.61.25 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107199 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107199 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107199 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
