[Resolved] help with sorting an array

[bike5]

I have an array with values as:
1011Tod
1015Jacob
996Jermey
1396Justin

I need to sort from lowest number to highest, meaning 996 would be the lowest number. 1396 would be the highest. When I use sort(array) it uses 996 as the highest. Do I have to strtok() the number out an manually make a loop to sort it or is there an easyer way? Thanks for your input.

Not sure if [man]natsort/man will work in this case.

If not, it may be possible to turn it into a 2d array, or 2 separate arrays, then use [man]array_multisort/man

Define a function to compare two items (based on the numeric part), then use [man]usort[/man].

Working solution:

<?php
//This is what you have and want to sort
$array[0] = "1011*Tod";
$array[1] = "1015*Jacob";
$array[2] = "996*Jermey";
$array[3] = "1396*Justin";

//We gonna make two array's from this one array and split the names and numbers.
$i = 0;
while($i < count($array)){
	$exploded = explode("*", $array[$i]);
	$arrNumb[$i] = $exploded[0];
	$arrPers[$i] = $exploded[1];
	$i += 1;
}

//Do a multi sort on the array
array_multisort($arrNumb, SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $arrPers);

//Print the thingie to check if it's ok
$i = 0;
while($i < count($arrNumb)){
	echo "{$arrNumb[$i]} : {$arrPers[$i]} <br> ";
	$i += 1;

}

?>

function do_compare($a, $b)
{
  $a = (int)$a;
  $b = (int)$b;
  if ($a == $b)
    return 0;
  return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}

$array[0] = "1011*Tod";
$array[1] = "1015*Jacob";
$array[2] = "996*Jermey";
$array[3] = "1396*Justin"; 

usort($array, 'do_compare');

print_r($array);

Thanks for the help everyone. I tried natsort and that didn't work for my problem, but I tried Yamakazi's way and that seemed to work, thanks again.
