bubble sort

[Anon]

i have an associative array like this:

$arr=array(\"chiru\" => 100 , \"murthy\" => 98, \"alfred\" => 105);

I want to implement bubble sort on this ? How can I ? I am able to implement bubble sort on numeric indexed array like this $arr[$j+1] < $arr[$j] then $temp= $arr[$j] etc. But how can I find index on the above array to implement the same logic to acheive bubble sort. Or is there any other way to implement bubble sort on that ?

Thanking u.

It depends on which one of the fields do you want to sort, the key or the value?

Any reason not to use asort or equivalent? From the php manual:

$fruits = array ("d"=>"lemon", "a"=>"orange", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"apple");
asort ($fruits);
reset ($fruits);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($fruits)) {
echo "$key = $val\n";
}

This example would display:

fruits[c] = apple
fruits = banana
fruits[d] = lemon
fruits[a] = orange

Would this do it?
