It should be noted that whilst the manuel says: "It[array_multisort] maintains key association when sorting". This is only Partially true. It will maintain string keys and associates them properly. However if you are using numeric keys, it will reset them to 0. i.e.: array(3) { [10]=> string(1) "a" [11]=> string(1) "e" [2]=> string(1) "b" } will become: array(3) { [0]=> string(1) "a" [1]=> string(1) "b" [2]=> string(1) "c" } Although i'm not sure WHY this is the case, or why it's not documented in the manuel as being the case. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30180 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30180 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30180
