# ksort

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

ksort -- Sort an array by key

## Description

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

Sorts an array by key, maintaining key to data correlations. This is useful mainly for associative arrays.

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

Example 1. ksort() example

`<?php $fruits = array("d"=>"lemon", "a"=>"orange", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"apple"); ksort($fruits); foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) { echo "$key = $val\n"; } ?>`

The above example will output:

    a = orange
    b = banana
    c = apple
    d = lemon

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

See also asort(), arsort(), krsort(), uksort(), sort(), natsort(), and rsort().

> Note: The second parameter was added in PHP 4.
