→Getting Information About PHP Arrays
Associative arrays can be sorted in two ways, either by key or by value. To sort by key use ''ksort'' and ''krsort'' (reverse sort). To sort by value use the ''asort'' and ''arsort'' functions. The syntax and options for these functions are as outlined for the ''sort'' and ''rsort'' functions above.
