Bug description:Add SORT_NATURAL type to array_multisort
Description:
------------
Arrays often need to be sorted using a "natural order" algorithm. There are
currently functions in PHP for sorting single arrays this way (natsort,
natcasesort), but nothing exists for a multisort.
It would be great to see a SORT_NATURAL option in the array_multisort
function.
Test script:
---------------
$a = array(
'Second',
'First',
'Twentieth',
'Tenth',
'Third',
);
$b = array(
'2 a',
'1 b',
'20 c',
'10 d',
'3 e',
);
array_multisort($b, SORT_NATURAL, $a);
var_dump($a, $b);
Expected result:
----------------
array
0 => string 'First' (length=5)
1 => string 'Second' (length=6)
2 => string 'Third' (length=5)
3 => string 'Tenth' (length=5)
4 => string 'Twentieth' (length=9)
array
0 => string '1 b' (length=3)
1 => string '2 a' (length=3)
2 => string '3 e' (length=3)
3 => string '10 d' (length=4)
4 => string '20 c' (length=4)
