How do I sort an array by key?


The key to sorting by key, is to add a k before the sort to get the function ksort.

This takes the name of the array as the parameter, and works like this:

<?php
$myworld 
= array("c"=>"better","a"=>"make","b"=>"me");
print_r($myworld);
?>


This prints:

Array
(
[c] => better
[a] => make
[b] => me
)

We need to use ksort to get the right key order:

<?php
$myworld 
= array("c"=>"better","a"=>"make","b"=>"me");
ksort($myworld);
print_r($myworld);
?>


Array
(
[a] => make
[b] => me
[c] => better
)
