trouble with arsort

[jsmith23]

I have a DB that keeps up with PGA player earnings. I use an array and arsort to sort them. My problem is it seems to sort by the earnings first number. For example, it will list 65,000.00 as being more than 1,000,000.00 because the first digit of 6 is more than one.

Does anyone have any ideas about this one?

Thanks,
Jeff

i got just not_so_nice_version:

save your array values:

$player[$number_of_player] = substr("000000000".$earnings , 10);

this function forces that every salary is saved with filling zeros at the beginning and each value has the same size (in this case 10)! There is another, nicer way to do that, but i can't remember.

When output the salary, you can strip the zero's with ereg_replace.
