# uksort

(PHP 3>= 3.0.4, PHP 4 )

uksort -- Sort an array by keys using a user-defined comparison function

## Description

void uksort ( array array, callback cmp_function)

This function will sort the keys of an array using a user-supplied comparison function. If the array you wish to sort needs to be sorted by some non-trivial criteria, you should use this function.

Example 1. uksort() example
    function cmp ($a, $b) {
        if ($a == $b) return 0;
        return ($a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
    }

    $a = array (4 => "four", 3 => "three", 20 => "twenty", 10 => "ten");

    uksort ($a, "cmp");

    while (list ($key, $value) = each ($a)) {
        echo "$key: $value\n";
    }

This example would display:

    20: twenty
    10: ten
    4: four
    3: three
