natcasesort()

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

用“自然排序”算法对数组进行不区分大小写字母的排序

说明

natcasesort()是natsort()函数的不区分大小写字母的版本。

本函数实现了一个和人们通常对字母数字字符串进行排序的方法一样的排序算法并保持原有键／值的关联，这被称为“自然排序”。

If two members compare as equal, their relative order in the sorted array is undefined.

参数

输入的数组。

返回值

成功时返回TRUE，或者在失败时返回FALSE。

范例

Example #1natcasesort()例子

以上例程会输出：

Standard sorting
Array
(
    [0] => IMG0.png
    [1] => IMG3.png
    [2] => img1.png
    [3] => img10.png
    [4] => img12.png
    [5] => img2.png
)
Natural order sorting (case-insensitive)
Array
(
    [0] => IMG0.png
    [4] => img1.png
    [3] => img2.png
    [5] => IMG3.png
    [2] => img10.png
    [1] => img12.png
)

Something that should probably be documented is the fact that both natsort and natcasesort maintain the key-value associations of the array. If you natsort a numerically indexed array, a for loop will not produce the sorted order; a foreach loop, however, will produce the sorted order, but the indices won't be in numeric order. If you want natsort and natcasesort to break the key-value associations, just use array_values on the sorted array, like so:
natcasesort($arr);
$arr = array_values($arr);

Sorting UTF-8 by arbitrary order: 

Here a function that will natural sort an array by keys with keys that contain special characters.

Hope it will be useful to somebody :)

add this loop to the function above if you want items which have the same first characters to be listed in a way that the shorter string comes first.
--------------------
 /* short before longer (e.g. 'abc' should come before 'abcd') */
 for($i=count($array)-1;$i>0;$i--) {
  $str_a = $array[$i ];
  $str_b = $array[$i-1];
  $cmp_a = strtolower(substr($str_a,0,strlen($str_a)));
  $cmp_b = strtolower(substr($str_b,0,strlen($str_a)));
  if ($cmp_a==$cmp_b && strlen($str_a)
I simply created a lower cased sort field at the front of the result set and then sort by it -- which provides the expected result and leaves the actual needed fields unchanged.
For the curious: all user information is kept completed in another database (and table) from the content database due to security reasons. The getUser functions we have written allow us to pull only what is legally allowed without exposing anything else.
This is why a left join or something wasn't used and we have to build a pseudo result array here from both databases.
