ArrayObject::ksort — Sort the entries by key
Sorts the entries by key, maintaining key to entry correlations. This is useful mainly for associative arrays.
Note:
If two members compare as equal, they retain their original order. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, their relative order in the sorted array was undefined.
flags The optional second parameter flags may be used to modify the sorting behavior using these values:
Sorting type flags:
SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally; the details are described in the comparison operators sectionSORT_NUMERIC - compare items numericallySORT_STRING - compare items as stringsSORT_LOCALE_STRING - compare items as strings, based on the current locale. It uses the locale, which can be changed using setlocale()SORT_NATURAL - compare items as strings using "natural ordering" like natsort()SORT_FLAG_CASE - can be combined (bitwise OR) with SORT_STRING or SORT_NATURAL to sort strings case-insensitively Always returns true.
Example #1 ArrayObject::ksort() example
<?php
$fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
$fruitArrayObject = new ArrayObject($fruits);
$fruitArrayObject->ksort();
foreach ($fruitArrayObject as $key => $val) {
echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>The above example will output:
a = orange b = banana c = apple d = lemon
