The function that justin at booleangate dot org provides works well, but be aware that it is not a drop-in replacement for ksort as is. While ksort sorts the array by reference and returns a status boolean, natksort returns the sorted array, leaving the original untouched. Thus, you must use this syntax:
$array = natksort($array);
If you want to use the more natural syntax:
$status = natksort($array);
Then use this modified version:
function natksort(&$array) {
$keys = array_keys($array);
natcasesort($keys);
foreach ($keys as $k) {
$new_array[$k] = $array[$k];
}
$array = $new_array;
return true;
}
