hi all,
this is my first post at php.net first of all thank you for this huge site :)
ok i found it usefull to post this for others. in the german language we have words like 'ä ö ü' its called "umlaute" and it was a problem to me to "naturally" sort an huge array correctly so i coded this small block to get me helped, if anyone has an better idea please post and let us know as i am not a real crack :)
1. change each "umlaut" (äöüß) into its "nearest" equivalent
2. natcasesorting it naturally
3. re-assiging the correct sorted array with the original-words again while keeping track of the KEY...
example-array:
$aSupplier = array(3 => "MAN",2 => "Atlas",16 => "Chevrolet",17 => "Chrysler",19 => "Citroen",24 => "DAF",25 => "Daihatsu",27 => "Daewoo",28 => "Demag",30 => "Dodge",36 => "Schierling",208 => "HIAB",38 => "Hüffermann",39 => "Gergen",40 => "Kubato",41 => "Faun",43 => "Kleindienst",44 => "Swing",45 => "Neuhaus",46 => "Unimog",47 => "Meiller",48 => "Pfau-Johnston",49 => "Geesink",50 => "Schörling",51 => "Demag-Witting",53 => "Helmers",54 => "Ellermann",55 => "Jacobsen",56 => "Biki",57 => "Hansa",58 => "Kramer",59 => "Schmitz",60 => "Toro",61 => "Iseki",62 => "Haller",63 => "Kuka",64 => "Brock",65 => "Ambross",66 => "Sobernheimer",67 => "Pietsch",68 => "Küpper",69 => "Weisser",71 => "Wackenhut");
foreach ( $aSupplier as $key => $value )
{
$aSupplier2[$key] = strtr($aSupplier[$key], "ÄÖÜäöüß", "AOUaous");
}
natcasesort($aSupplier2);
foreach ( $aSupplier2 as $key => $value )
{
if ( $aSupplier2[$key] != "" )
$aSupplier3[$key] = $aSupplier[$key];
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($aSupplier3);
echo "</pre>";

natcasesort
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
natcasesort — Ordena una matriz usando un algoritmo de "orden natural" sin distinguir mayúsculas de minúsculas
Descripción
bool natcasesort
( array &$matriz
)
natcasesort() es una versión insensible a mayúsculas/minúsculas de natsort().
Esta función implementa un algoritmo de ordenamiento que ordena cadenas alfanuméricas en la forma en que un ser humano lo harÃa, al mismo tiempo que conserva las asociaciones clave/valor. Esta propiedad se conoce como "ordenamiento natural".
Lista de parámetros
- matriz
-
La matriz de entrada.
Valores retornados
Devuelve TRUE si todo se llevó a cabo correctamente, FALSE en caso de fallo.
Ejemplos
Example #1 Ejemplo de natcasesort()
<?php
$matriz1 = $matriz2 = array('IMG0.png', 'img12.png', 'img10.png', 'img2.png', 'img1.png', 'IMG3.png');
sort($matriz1);
echo "Ordenamiento estándar\n";
print_r($matriz1);
natcasesort($matriz2);
echo "\nOrden natural (insensible a mayúsculas y minúsculas)\n";
print_r($array2);
?>
El resultado del ejemplo seria:
Ordenamiento estándar Array ( [0] => IMG0.png [1] => IMG3.png [2] => img1.png [3] => img10.png [4] => img12.png [5] => img2.png ) Orden natural (insensible a mayúsculas y minúsculas) Array ( [0] => IMG0.png [4] => img1.png [3] => img2.png [5] => IMG3.png [2] => img10.png [1] => img12.png )

Ulli at Stemmeler dot net: I remade your function -- it's a little more compact now -- Enjoy...
function ignorecasesort(&$array) {
/*Make each element it's lowercase self plus itself*/
/*(e.g. "MyWebSite" would become "mywebsiteMyWebSite"*/
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($array); $array[$i] = strtolower($array[$i]).$array[$i], $i++);
/*Sort it -- only the lowercase versions will be used*/
sort($array);
/*Take each array element, cut it in half, and add the latter half to a new array*/
/*(e.g. "mywebsiteMyWebSite" would become "MyWebSite")*/
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($array); $i++) {
$this = $array[$i];
$array[$i] = substr($this, (strlen($this)/2), strlen($this));
}
}

Something that should probably be documented is the fact that both natsort and natcasesort maintain the key-value associations of the array. If you natsort a numerically indexed array, a for loop will not produce the sorted order; a foreach loop, however, will produce the sorted order, but the indices won't be in numeric order. If you want natsort and natcasesort to break the key-value associations, just use array_values on the sorted array, like so:
natcasesort($arr);
$arr = array_values($arr);

add this loop to the function above if you want items which have the same first characters to be listed in a way that the shorter string comes first.
--------------------
/* short before longer (e.g. 'abc' should come before 'abcd') */
for($i=count($array)-1;$i>0;$i--) {
$str_a = $array[$i ];
$str_b = $array[$i-1];
$cmp_a = strtolower(substr($str_a,0,strlen($str_a)));
$cmp_b = strtolower(substr($str_b,0,strlen($str_a)));
if ($cmp_a==$cmp_b && strlen($str_a)<strlen($str_b)) {
$array[$i]=$str_b; $array[$i-1]=$str_a; $i+=2;
}
}

natcasesort didn't work first time I needed something like this.
Not on my local server, not on my server on the web.
I needed an array sorted ignoring upper and lower cases. In the end lower case array-members stayed at the end of the array.
I replaced it with this function:
---------
function ignorecasesort(&$array) {
$separator="|<>|";
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($array);$i++) { $array[$i]=strtolower($array[$i]).$separator.$array[$i]; }
sort($array);
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($array);$i++) { $this=$array[$i]; $this=explode($separator,$this); $array[$i]=$this[1]; }
}
---------
