I would like to use the functionality of SORT_ASC, SORT_DESC with array_multisort()

but the problem is, it sorts my array like 

test.1
test.10
test.2
test.3
test.4
test.5

it should be 

test.1
test.2
test.3
test.4 
...
test.10

currently using it like this

array_multisort(($sortc), (($sortby==='asc') ? SORT_ASC : SORT_DESC), $pool);

$sortc is the array I want to sort from the multi-dimensional array of $pool

I do know that natsort can do it properly, but it doesnt have the same functionality as array_multisort.

You want to use natural sort. Just add the SORT_NATURAL flag.

array_multisort(($sortc), (($sortby==='asc') ? SORT_ASC : SORT_DESC), SORT_NATURAL, $pool);

That was worked. thank you! I didn't realize you could add multiple SORT constants to one, I knew you could do many arrays with different sorts. –  Idealcastle Jun 17 at 16:04
