Use arsort(), and while you're in the manual ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php> ) familiarise yourself with all the other sort functions (and array functions in general). There's some useful stuff there that you might not expect, and therefore not look for.
