(PHP 3 <= 3.0.18, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

rsort -- Sort an array in reverse order

## Description

``void rsort` (array array [, int sort_flags])`

This function sorts an array in reverse order (highest to lowest).

Example 1. rsort() example
    $fruits = array ("lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple");
    rsort ($fruits);
    reset ($fruits);
    while (list ($key, $val) = each ($fruits)) {
        echo "$key = $val\n";
    }

This example would display:

    0 = orange
    1 = lemon
    2 = banana
    3 = apple

The fruits have been sorted in reverse alphabetical order.

You may modify the behavior of the sort using the optional parameter `sort_flags`, for details see sort().
