This function sorts the entries such that keys maintain their correlation with the entry that they are associated with, using a user-defined comparison function.
This is used mainly when sorting associative arrays where the actual element order is significant.

// Comparison function
function cmp($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
// Array to be sorted
$array = array('a' => 4, 'b' => 8, 'c' => -1, 'd' => -9, 'e' => 2, 'f' => 5, 'g' => 3, 'h' => -4);
$arrayObject = new ArrayObject($array);
print_r($arrayObject);
// Sort and print the resulting array
$arrayObject->uasort('cmp');
print_r($arrayObject);
