I have a bunch of numbers. Let's use these as an example: 7, 18, 24, 53, 75, 15
When I use rsort()
on my array, it orders it something like this:
However, this is not what I want. I want my sorting algorithm to sort my array in numeric order descending, so that it looks like this:
What sorting algorithm is the right one? I've tried a few but none have done the trick.
Use SORT_NUMERIC
flag:
rsort($myArray, SORT_NUMERIC)
Without flags, rsort
(as well as sort
) sorts items without changing types, i.e. strings are compared lexicographically.
