"PHP Sorting a array"

Hi i've been playing around with all the different sort array functions but cant get it to work the way i want.

This is how inside my array looks:

blah[0] = 60#cough
blah[1] = 43#blah
blah[2] = 100#woof
blah[3] = 3#moo

..etc

How could i get it to sort the by the numbers before the #?

ah that wont work i forgot that some values may be the same i just used them random numbers as an example it could be..

blah[0] = 3#cough
blah[1] = 43#blah
blah[2] = 3#woof
blah[3] = 3#moo

...or anything really there any other ways around this?

Ahhh didnt think of that cheers.

not very easily, coz it would think that blah[0] should come after blah[3] coz it would see that 6 > 1.

how about using a different array structure?

try this instead:

blah[60] = cough
blah[43] = blah
blah[100] = woof
blah[3] = moo

PHP will simply fill in the missing $blah entries as NULL
