silverglade Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 i dont understand this function. why doesnt it display the days in their numerical order? any help greatly appreciated , thanks. derek natsort($arrayname) Sorts mixed string/number values in natural order. For example, given an array with values day1, day5, day11, day2, it sorts into the following order: day1, day2, day5, day11. The previous sort functions sort the array into this order: day1, day11, day2, day5.

samshel Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 normal sort will return day1 day11 day2 day5 natsort should return them as day1 day2 day5 day11 (which i think is happening as you mentioned). so what exactly is the problem?
