Lets say you have the following array: $array1 = Array(third => "Some text 3", second => "Some text 2", first => "Some text 1", fourth => "Some text 4" ); and you want to sort it by first,second,third, fourth. Very easy! Just create a second array: $array2 = Array(first => "", second => "", third => "", fourth => ""); and do: $result = array_merge($array2,$array1); now $result = Array(first => "Some text 1",second => "Some text 2",third => "Some text 3",fourth => "Some text 4"); This is very usefull when you want to print data out of a database table for example, but you would like to give it a custom order. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30610 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30610 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30610
