natsort — Sort an array using a "natural order" algorithm
&$array
)This function implements a sort algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would while maintaining key/value associations. This is described as a "natural ordering". An example of the difference between this algorithm and the regular computer string sorting algorithms (used in sort()) can be seen in the example below.
arrayThe input array.
Întoarce valoarea TRUE în cazul
succesului sau FALSE în cazul eșecului.
| Versiunea | Descriere |
|---|---|
| 5.2.10 | Zero padded numeric strings (e.g., '00005') now essentially ignore the 0 padding. |
Example #1 natsort() examples demonstrating basic usage
<?php
$array1 = $array2 = array("img12.png", "img10.png", "img2.png", "img1.png");
asort($array1);
echo "Standard sorting\n";
print_r($array1);
natsort($array2);
echo "\nNatural order sorting\n";
print_r($array2);
?>
Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:
Standard sorting
Array
(
[3] => img1.png
[1] => img10.png
[0] => img12.png
[2] => img2.png
)
Natural order sorting
Array
(
[3] => img1.png
[2] => img2.png
[1] => img10.png
[0] => img12.png
)
