SORTING ARRAYS WITH THE arsort() FUNCTION

The arsort() function sorts an array's values in reverse order. Keeps the same keys.

The general format for the arsort() function is:

arsort($array);

This sorts the array by value, sorted by lowercase letters first descending , then uppercase letters descending and lastly numbers descending.

Example:

$username['John']="Elmafudd";
$username['Alieza']="8hotchick";
$username['Brian']="aopper24";
$username['Mary']="11_daper";

arsort($username);

The array is now.

username['Brian'] = aopper24
$username['John'] = Elmafudd
$username['Alieza'] = 8hotchick
$username['Mary'] = 11_daper
