(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

rsort -- Sort an array in reverse order

## Description

bool rsort ( array &array [, int sort_flags])

This function sorts an array in reverse order (highest to lowest).

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

Example 1. rsort() example

`<?php $fruits = array("lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple"); rsort($fruits); reset($fruits); while (list($key, $val) = each($fruits)) { echo "$key = $val\n"; } ?>`

This example would display:

    0 = orange
    1 = lemon

The fruits have been sorted in reverse alphabetical order.

You may modify the behavior of the sort using the optional parameter sort_flags, for details see sort().
