ksrot php_PHP: ksort - Manual

The first thing that I didn't find in description it's that this function return results from MIN value to MAX value, ex: [-5=>'', 0=>'', 5=>'' ]

Also you should know that by default, it has correct sorting for keys that represented as string but has a number as value, ex: ['-5'=>'', '0'=>'', '5'=>'' ]

Few examples with results:

-----------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION: Keys are numbers + default flag (SORT_REGULAR)

$arr = [

-5 => 'minus five',

0 => 'zero',

1 => 'one',

2 => 'two',

100 => 'hundred',

];

ksort($arr);

print_r($arr);

RESULT:

Array

(

[-5] => minus five

[0] => zero

[1] => one

[2] => two

[100] => hundred

)
