Hello:
I am trying to get an array sorted naturally.
I do something like
$list = scandir($dirname);
natsort($list);
According to the manual page the array values are sorted but
the keys remain the same. So running the array through a loop
does not produce the sorted order. I produces the original order.
How to I get a sorted version of the array that I can loop through
and produce the revised order?
journal-1.2020.php
journal-10.2020.php
journal-11.2020.php
journal-12.2020.php
journal-2.2020.php
journal-3.2020.php
journal-4.2020.php
journal-5.2020.php
journal-6.2020.php
journal-7.2020.php
journal-8.2020.php
journal-9.2020.php
Thank you for time and attention
Jeff K.
How are you looping over the array?
If you use a for-loop with a counter, then you will see the elements in
the array in order of the count.
If you use a foreach-loop, then you'll see the elements in their order
in the array (the sorted order).
Does this produce the expected output?
foreach ($list as $item) {
echo "$item\n";
}
