Re: [binarycloud-dev] Still Something Rotten....

[Odysseas T. <ody...@ya...>]

The sorting works as expected.

Array order and key-value association are two 
different things in php.  
uasort doesnot change the key association, i.e., you
should not see a 0 indexed element if you didn't
original create one with that key.

Check the *sort man pages for more info.
