array
A lot of people seem to trip up on this and ask me questions as to debugging. Bear in mind that this returns boolean, and does not return an array of affected items.
$array = array("One"=>1, "Three" => 3,"Two" =>2);
print_r(asort($array));
If successful, will return 1, and error if there is a string used. Useful to note so then people stop asking me :D
arsort
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
arsort — Подрежда масив в обратен ред, запазвайки връзката между ключовете и стойностите
Описание
bool arsort
( array &$array
[, int $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR
] )
Функцията подрежда масив, така че индексите на масива да не загубят връзка с елементите, с които са свързани.
Функцията се използва основно при асоциативни масиви, където редът на елементите е съществено важен.
Параметри
- array
-
Входният масив.
- sort_flags
-
Поведението на функцията може да се промени посредством незадължителния параметър sort_flags . За повече информация вижте функция sort().
Връщани стойности
Връща TRUE при успех или FALSE при неуспех.
Примери
Example #1 Пример за arsort()
<?php
$fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
arsort($fruits);
foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>
Примерът по-горе ще изведе:
a = orange d = lemon b = banana c = apple
Имената на плодовете са подредени по обратен азбучен ред, като връзката между индексите и техните елементи е запазена.

Note about "morgan at anomalyinc dot com"'s comment:
As of PHP4, you can just use array_multisort() to sort parallel or multi-dimensional arrays.

I was having trouble with the arsort() function on an older version of PHP which was returning an error along the lines of 'wrong perameter count for function arsort' when I tried to use a flag for numeric sorting (2/SORT_NUMERIC).
I figured, as I only wanted to sort integers, I could pad numbers from the left to a specific length with 0's (using the lpad function provided by improv@magma.ca in the notes at http://www.php.net/manual/ref.strings.php).
A string sort then correctly sorts numerically (i.e. {30,2,10,21} becomes {030,021,010,002} not {30,21,2,10}) when echoing the number an (int)$string_name hides the leading 0's.
Made my day :).

If you need to sort a multi-demension array, for example, an array such as
$TeamInfo[$TeamID]["WinRecord"]
$TeamInfo[$TeamID]["LossRecord"]
$TeamInfo[$TeamID]["TieRecord"]
$TeamInfo[$TeamID]["GoalDiff"]
$TeamInfo[$TeamID]["TeamPoints"]
and you have say, 100 teams here, and want to sort by "TeamPoints":
first, create your multi-dimensional array. Now, create another, single dimension array populated with the scores from the first array, and with indexes of corresponding team_id... ie
$foo[25] = 14
$foo[47] = 42
or whatever.
Now, asort or arsort the second array.
Since the array is now sorted by score or wins/losses or whatever you put in it, the indices are all hoopajooped.
If you just walk through the array, grabbing the index of each entry, (look at the asort example. that for loop does just that) then the index you get will point right back to one of the values of the multi-dimensional array.
Not sure if that's clear, but mail me if it isn't...
