sort an array and rsort an array should give the same order in reverse, the following does not:
------------
$a = array("0", "1", "01", "2");
sort($a);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($a)) {
    echo "$key: $value\n";
}
echo "\n";
$a = array("0", "1", "01", "2");
rsort($a);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($a)) {
    echo "$key: $value\n";
}
------------
gives the results:
0: 0
1: 01
2: 1
3: 2

0: 2
1: 01
2: 1
3: 0

This is how it is meant to work. By default PHP sorts is
"numeric". If you need "string" sort, use sort($arr,SORT_STRING).
