asort($array['1']);

echo print_r($array);

I am not to sure if this is exactly what you are looking for. If you could provide a more accurate example as if I were to build a recursive function for this (multi-dim array);

It would need to start at the deepest array and work back to the beginning (what string value does an array have?) if you see what I mean.

I don't understand what you mean by "what string value..." but I added the following based on what you said and it works great. But it doesn't do it backwards so I'm wondering if it OK to use?

PHP Code:


			
         for ($i = 0; $i < count($myarray); ++$i)

         {

           if (is_array($myarray[$i]))

             asort($myarray[$i]);

         }
