PHP Function rsort()
Syntax
rsort( $array [, $sort_flags] );

Definition and Usage
This function sorts an array in reverse order (highest to lowest).
This function assigns new keys for the elements in array. It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather than just reordering the keys.
Paramters
Parameter | Description |
array | Required. Specifies an array. |
sort_flags | Optional. Specifies how to sort the array values. Possible values:
- SORT_REGULAR - Default. Treat values as they are (don't change types)
- SORT_NUMERIC - Treat values numerically
- SORT_STRING - Treat values as strings
- SORT_LOCALE_STRING - Treat values as strings, based on local settings
|
Return Value
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example
Try out following example:
<?php
$fruits = array("d"=>"lemon", "a"=>"orange", "b"=>"banana" );
rsort($fruits);
print_r($fruits);
?>
|
This will produce following result:
Array ( [0] => orange [1] => lemon [2] => banana )
