I think I figured out what the problem was: the array values were strings not numeric. You can change that by casting. See the instructions here: http://www.php-scripts.com/20060103/75/

That’s what rsort($arr) does Beregszászi, I’d like to see more code. Perhaps you can post a link to the source that isn’t sorting properly.

See example: http://www.php-scripts.com/examples/numbersort.php
