note 124755 added to function.sort

<?php /* As I found the sort() function normally works as ascending order based on the following priority : 1. NULL 2. Empty 3. Boolean FALSE 4. String 5. Float 6. Int 7. Array 8. Object Consider the following array: */ $a = ['fruit'=> 'apple', 'A' => 10, 20, 5, 2.5, 5=>'A new value', 'last' => 'value', TRUE, NULL, "", FALSE, array(), new StdClass]; sort($a); var_dump($a); #The output is: array(13) { [0]=>NULL [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=>bool(false) [3]=>string(11) "A new value" [4]=>string(5) "apple" [5]=>string(5) "value" [6]=> float(2.5) [7]=> int(5) [8]=>int(10) [9]=>int(20) [10]=>array(0) { } [11]=> bool(true) [12]=>object(stdClass)#1 (0) {} } //Hope it will remove your confusion when you're sorting an array with mix type data. ?> ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.195 (proxied: 182.160.98.85) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124755 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124755 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124755 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
