PHP array sorting

Sort() - Ascending arrays
rsort() - Descending arrays
asort() - Ascends the array according to the value of the associated array
ksort() - Ascending the array according to the keys of the associated array
arsort() - The array is arranged in descending order based on the value of the associated array
krsort() - Descends the array according to the key of the associated array

Sort() - Ascending arrays

The following example $cars elements in the array are arranged in alphabetical ascending order:

<?php
$cars=array("Volvo","BMW","Toyota");
sort($cars);
?>

The following example $numbers elements in the array are arranged in numerical ascending order:

<?php
$numbers=array(4,6,2,22,11);
sort($numbers);
?>

The following example $cars elements in the array are arranged in descending alphabetical order:

<?php
$cars=array("Volvo","BMW","Toyota");
rsort($cars);
?>

The following example $numbers elements in the array in descending order of numbers:

<?php
$numbers=array(4,6,2,22,11);
rsort($numbers);
?>

The following example ascends the associated array based on the value of the array:

<?php
$age=array("Peter"=>"35","Ben"=>"37","Joe"=>"43");
asort($age);
?>

The following example ascends the associated array according to the key of the array:

<?php
$age=array("Peter"=>"35","Ben"=>"37","Joe"=>"43");
ksort($age);
?>

The following example ranks the associated arrays in descending order based on the value of the array:

<?php
$age=array("Peter"=>"35","Ben"=>"37","Joe"=>"43");
arsort($age);
?>

The following example descends the associated array according to the key of the array:

<?php
$age=array("Peter"=>"35","Ben"=>"37","Joe"=>"43");
krsort($age);
?>

This reference manual provides a brief description of each function and an example of its application!

That's all there is to it with a PHP array sort, and in the next section we'll cover PHP global variables!
