PHP: uksort() function

PHP: Sort an array by keys using a user-defined comparison function

The uksort() function is used to sort an array by the element keys using a user-defined comparison function. If the array you wish to sort needs to be sorted by some non-trivial criteria, you should use this function.

Note: If two members compare as equal, their relative order in the sorted array is undefined.

"20" => "php", "60" => "vbscript",
