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,
]
