Like sort(), rsort() assigns new keys for the elements in array. It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather than just reordering the keys. This means that it will destroy associative keys.
$animals = array("dog"=>"large", "cat"=>"medium", "mouse"=>"small");
print_r($animals);
//Array ( [dog] => large [cat] => medium [mouse] => small )
rsort($animals);
print_r($animals);
//Array ( [0] => small [1] => medium [2] => large )
Use KSORT() or KRSORT() to preserve associative keys.
rsort
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
rsort — Ordina un array in ordine decrescente
Descrizione
bool rsort
( array
$array
[, int $sort_flags
] )Questa funzione ordina un array in ordine decrescente.
Restituisce TRUE in caso di successo, FALSE in caso di fallimento.
Example #1 esempio di rsort()
<?php
$frutti = array("limone", "arancia", "banana", "mela");
rsort($frutti);
reset($frutti);
while (list($chiave, $valore) = each($frutti)) {
echo "$chiave = $valore\n";
}
?>
Questo esempio mostrerĂ :
0 = mela 1 = limone 2 = banana 3 = arancia
I frutti sono stati ordinati in ordine alfabetico decrescente.
Si può modificare il comportamento dell'ordinamento usando il parametro opzionale
sort_flags, per maggiori dettagli
vedere sort().

I thought rsort was working successfully or on a multi-dimensional array of strings that had first been sorted with usort(). But, I noticed today that the array was only partially in descending order. I tried array_reverse on it and that seems to have solved things.

Apparently rsort does not put arrays with one value back to zero. If you have an array like: $tmp = array(9 => 'asdf') and then rsort it, $tmp[0] is empty and $tmp[9] stays as is.

I needed a function that would sort a list of files into reversed order based on their modification date.
Here's what I came up with:
function display_content($dir,$ext){
$f = array();
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($folder = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (preg_match("/\s*$ext$/", $folder)) {
$fullpath = "$dir/$folder";
$mtime = filemtime ($fullpath);
$ff = array($mtime => $fullpath);
$f = array_merge($f, $ff);
}
}
rsort($f, SORT_NUMERIC);
while (list($key, $val) = each($f)) {
$fcontents = file($val, "r");
while (list($key, $val) = each($fcontents))
echo "$val\n";
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
Call it like so:
display_content("folder","extension");

A cleaner (I think) way to sort a list of files into reversed order based on their modification date.
<?php
$path = $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]."/files/";
$dh = @opendir($path);
while (false !== ($file=readdir($dh)))
{
if (substr($file,0,1)!=".")
$files[]=array(filemtime($path.$file),$file); #2-D array
}
closedir($dh);
if ($files)
{
rsort($files); #sorts by filemtime
#done! Show the files sorted by modification date
foreach ($files as $file)
echo "$file[0] $file[1]<br>\n"; #file[0]=Unix timestamp; file[1]=filename
}
?>
