Description

Object oriented style

public bool Collator::asort ( array &$arr [, int $sort_flag ] )

Procedural style

bool collator_asort ( Collator $coll , array &$arr [, int $sort_flag ] )

This function sorts an array such that array indices maintain their correlation with the array elements they are associated with. This is used mainly when sorting associative arrays where the actual element order is significant. Array elements will have sort order according to current locale rules.

Equivalent to standard PHP asort().

Parameters

arr

• Collator::SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally (don't change types)

• Collator::SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically

• Collator::SORT_STRING - compare items as strings Default $sort_flag value is Collator::SORT_REGULAR. It is also used if an invalid $sort_flag value has been specified. Return Values Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
