sorting arrays with decimal values

[mikawhat]

How it is possible to sort an array with decimal values, positive and negative?

With regular sorting it will become like:
9.45
87.00
68.33
10.36
-40.00
-33.23
-3.98
-29.00

any ideas? thanks!

What does "regular sorting" mean? Which function did you use?

[nevvermind]

Never mind. What bradgrafelman said.

If you want something like this:

array
  0 => float 87
  1 => float 68.34
  2 => float 68.33
  3 => float 10.36
  4 => float 9.45
  5 => float -3.98
  6 => float -29
  7 => float -33.23
  8 => float -40

...that's using rsort(). And the elements in the array were, as you can see, numeric type, not strings.

If using sort() or related commands, you can force a numeric sort via the optional 2nd parameter, even if the values are strings:

rsort($myArray, SORT_NUMERIC);
