Sorting an array

Hello can some please help me sort this array by asc order.

 

I have the array below that sorts a company name and it's id. I need to sort the array by company name in asc order

 

I tried these variations of the sort function  usort(), sort(), asort() but with no luck

 

Just to show you the data in the array, if I do a print_r($compNames); I get this

Array ( [48] => Harmony Publishers [49] => Demo Client [50] => johns Printing [51] => creative comps [53] => Myclient [56] => gogo ) 

 

 

<?php
$compNames = array();

while($rw = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)){
     $compNames[$rw['subCompId']] = comp($rw['subCompId'],'compName');
}

sort($compNames);

foreach($compNames as $name => $idComp){
echo $name.'-'.$idComp.'<br>';
}

?>

<?php
$compNames = array();

while($rw = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)){
     $compNames[$rw['subCompId']] = comp($rw['subCompId'],'compName');
}

$compNames = array_map('strtolower', $compNames); //convert values to lowercase for proper sorting;

sort($compNames);

foreach($compNames as $name => $idComp){
echo $name.'-'.$idComp.'<br>';
}

?>

 

EDIT: added code tags;
