Examples

Example #1 ArrayObject::natcasesort() example

<?php
$array?=?array('IMG0.png',?'img12.png',?'img10.png',?'img2.png',?'img1.png',?'IMG3.png');

$arr1?=?new?ArrayObject($array);
$arr2?=?clone?$arr1;

$arr1->asort();
echo?"Standard?sorting\n";
print_r($arr1);

$arr2->natcasesort();
echo?"\nNatural?order?sorting?(case-insensitive)\n";
print_r($arr2);
?>

The above example will output:

Standard sorting
ArrayObject Object
(
    [0] => IMG0.png
    [5] => IMG3.png
    [4] => img1.png
    [2] => img10.png
    [1] => img12.png
    [3] => img2.png
)

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