Answer 1

Would you be able to do this?

$some_mixed_array = array( 998, 6, 430 );
function custom_sort( $array )
{
  // Sort it
  asort($array);

  // return sorted array
  return $array;
}

custom_sort( $some_mixed_array );

// returning: array( 6, 430, 998 )

This would also solve your issue:

$some_mixed_array = array( 998, 6, 430 );
echo '
'.print_r($some_mixed_array, true).'
';

asort($some_mixed_array); // <- BAM!

// returning: array( 6, 430, 998 )
echo '
'.print_r($some_mixed_array, true).'
';
