How about iterating though the strings and putting string values and
lengths in an array:
[begin untested code]
$strings = array('i','am','who');
$string_count = array();
foreach ($strings as $string) {
$string_count['value'][] = $string;
$string_count['length'][] = strlen($string);
}
array_multisort($string_count['length'],SORT_ASC,SORT_NUMERIC,$string_count['value']);
[/end untested code]
This'll take an array of strings and sort them from shortest to longest.
There may be some other function already made, this was just off the
top of my head.
