note 54319 added to function.ksort

The function that justin at booleangate dot org provides works well, but be aware that it is not a drop-in replacement for ksort as is. While ksort sorts the array by reference and returns a status boolean, natksort returns the sorted array, leaving the original untouched. Thus, you must use this syntax: $array = natksort($array); If you want to use the more natural syntax: $status = natksort($array); Then use this modified version: function natksort(&$array) { $keys = array_keys($array); natcasesort($keys); foreach ($keys as $k) { $new_array[$k] = $array[$k]; } $array = $new_array; return true; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ksort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54319 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54319&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54319&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54319&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54319&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54319&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54319&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54319&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
