Sorting Arrays in PHP

PHP provides several functions to sort arrays, including sort(), asort(), and ksort().

Example of Sorting Arrays

<?php
$fruits = array("banana", "apple", "orange");
sort($fruits);
print_r($fruits);

$person = array("John" => 30, "Jane" => 25);
asort($person);
print_r($person);

$keys = array("b" => 2, "a" => 1);
ksort($keys);
print_r($keys);
?>

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => apple
    [1] => banana
    [2] => orange
)
Array
(
    [Jane] => 25
    [John] => 30
)
Array
(
    [a] => 1
    [b] => 2
)

Explanation: This example demonstrates how to sort indexed arrays using sort(), associative arrays using asort(), and sort by keys using ksort().
