- compare items as strings using "natural ordering" like natsort() SORT_FLAG_CASE
- can be combined (bitwise OR) with SORT_STRING

on failure.
Example #1 ksort() example
<?php $fruits = array("d"=>"lemon", "a"=>"orange", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"apple"); ksort($fruits); foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) { echo "$key = $val\n"; } ?>
The above example will output:
a = orange b = banana c = apple d = lemon
