Sort array by value alphabetically php
As the title suggests i want to sort an array by value alphabetically in php.
$arr = array(
'k' => 'pig',
'e' => 'dog'
)
would become
$arr = array(
'e' => 'dog',
'k' => 'pig'
)
Any ideas?
EDIT: Here's the actual array i want to sort.
Array ( [0] => Newtown [1] => Montgomery [开发者_运维知识库2] => Welshpool [6] => Llanfyllin [7] => Llansanffraid [8] => Llanymynech [9] => Oswestry [14] => Oswestry Town Service [15] => Aston Way [16] => College Road [17] => Shrewsbury [18] => Royal Shrewsbury Hospital [19] => Worthen [20] => Brockton [22] => Cefn Blodwell [23] => Treflach [24] => Trefonen [25] => Morda [26] => Marches School [28] => North Shropshire College [37] => Park Hall [38] => Gobowen [39] => St Martins [40] => Ifton Heath [42] => Guilsfield [43] => Four Crosses [45] => Pant [46] => Llynclys [49] => Oswestry Town Service Schools [51] => Woodside School [56] => Whittington [57] => Babbinswood [58] => Hindford [59] => Ellesmere [62] => Forden [63] => Kingswood Cock Hotel [65] => Coleg Powys [85] => Borfa Green [86] => Bryn Siriol [87] => Maesydre School [92] => Crew Green [93] => Ford [104] => Llanrhaeadr [106] => Meifod [114] => Llangynog [116] => Llangedwyn [119] => Porthywaen [132] => Llanfair Caereinion [133] => Pontrobet [136] => Dolanog [141] => Llansilin [144] => Abermule [145] => Llandyssil [146] => Carhowel [149] => Cefn Coch [150] => Tregynon [151] => Manafon [152] => Berriew [157] => Bettws Cedewain [158] => Newtown High School [160] => Newtown Coleg Powys [173] => Llanerfyl [174] => Machynlleth [175] => Talybont [176] => Aberystwyth [183] => Bala [184] => Llanrwst [185] => Llandudno [188] => Middletown [196] => Llanidloes [202] => Wrexham [203] => Rhayader )
You want the php function "asort":
http://php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php
it sorts the array, maintaining the index associations.
Edit: I've just noticed you're using a standard array (non-associative). if you're not fussed about preserving index associations, use sort():
http://php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php
Note that sort() operates on the array in place, so you only need to call
sort($a);
doSomething($a);
This will not work;
$a = sort($a);
doSomething($a);
- If you just want to sort the array values and don't care for the keys, use
sort()
. This will give a new array with numeric keys starting from0
. - If you want to keep the key-value associations, use
asort()
.
See also the comparison table of sorting functions in PHP.
asort()
- Maintains key association: yes.
sort()
- Maintains key association: no.
