The ksort Function

The ksort function sorts an array by keys in ascending order. The function modifies the array itself.

Syntax

ksort(array &$array, int $flags = SORT_REGULAR): bool

Example

Let's sort an array by keys in ascending order:

<?php
	$arr = [
		'b' => 1,
		'e' => 3,
		'c' => 2,
		'a' => 5,
		'd' => 4
	];
	
	ksort($arr);
	var_dump($arr);
?>

Code execution result:

[
	'a' => 5,
	'b' => 1,
	'c' => 2,
	'd' => 4
	'e' => 3,
]
