Sorting the array Indecies

[freakyfreak]

Ok I am having trouble getting arrays to sort right. I have an array set up like.

Array ( [california] => data
[arizona] => data
[new mexico] => data )

I can't get it to sort by the index alphabetically right. The only times I can get it to sort by the index right it will convert all the indecies to integers. Anyone know a way of sorting the indecies alphabetically and keep the original index names

Did you try asort http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php? It seems to handle the sorting of associative arrays fairly well.

I have tried every array sorting function in the PHP manual.
I have decided to do it another way anyway for this script but would still like to find a reliable way to do this.

See asort does the data and not the indecies. look at the example on the php page.
it will arrange it this way.

c = apple
b = banana
d = lemon
a = orange

I need this way

a = orange
b = banana
c = apple
d = lemon

According to the manual ksort http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ksort.php will sort by the key. uksort is suggested for case-insensitive key sorts.
