Try this (it should work):
while(list($k, $v) = each($myarray)){
$myarray[$k] = (int) $v;
}
arsort($myarray);
reset($myarray);
while(list($k, $v) = each($myarray)){
echo $k, ' == ', $v, "<BR>\n;
}
For better comprehension look at this post:

You have stored strings as your values, instead of ints.
IE: (string) '9' > (string) '12' returns TRUE
You will need to take care in creating your array to have (int) values
instead of strings.
If all else fails, the following should work:
while(list($k, $v) = each($myarray)){
$myarray[$k] = (int) $v;
}
arsort($myarray);
reset($myarray);
while(list($k, $v) = each($myarray)){
echo $k, ' == ', $v, "<BR>\n;
}
