Given an array:
<?php
$arr = ['3'=>'a', '2'=>'d', '1'=>'c', '5'=>'e', '4'=>'b'];
?>
Sort the array in ascending order by values. This is what you should get:
['3'=>'a', '4'=>'b', '1'=>'c', '2'=>'d', '5'=>'e'];
Given an array:
<?php
$arr = [10, 2, 35, 4, 15];
?>
Sort the array in descending order by values. This is what you should get:
[35, 15, 10, 4, 2];
Given an associative array:
<?php
$arr = ['z'=>'a', 'y'=>'d', 'x'=>'c', 'w'=>'b'];
?>
Sort the array in ascending order by keys. This is what you should get:
['w'=>'b', 'x'=>'c', 'y'=>'d', 'z'=>'a'];

Given an array:
<?php
$arr = ['a'=>5, 'b'=>2, 'c'=>4, 'd'=>1, 'e'=>3];

['d'=>1, 'b'=>2, 'e'=>3, 'c'=>4, 'a'=>5];
Given an array:
<?php
$arr = ['a'=>10, 'b'=>40, 'c'=>20, 'd'=>30];
