This function is to be used with phps' built in usort(). It will sort an array alphabetically and case insensitively, something I found the normal sort() function didn't do. An example of usage: usort($array, 'isort'); Naturally the function should be included or defined in your code. By Richard Heyes.

function isort($a,$b){
if(ord(substr(strtolower($a),0,1)) == ord(substr(strtolower($b),0,1))) return 0;
return (ord(substr(strtolower($a),0,1)) < ord(substr(strtolower($b),0,1))) ? -1 : 1;
}
?>
Would that work with CGI too? I am kinda new :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
