Description:
------------
Hi... I've been using the php online documentation a lot, and I like it a lot.  I use it as an example of good documentation when talking with other people.

There's just one glitch I'd like to get fixed.

Today I wanted to look up an array sort routine, but there are a bunch, so I needed to look at a list.  I went to http://ca.php.net/manual/en/, clicked on 'array functions', and at this point, I wanted to (expected to) see a list of array functions in the left frame.  Instead it's a list of the sections of the manual.  As a work-around, normally I'd then click on 'array-change-key-case' (in the top-right corner) to get the left frame to be a list of array functions.

Just now I looked a little harder, and I find that if I scroll down a couple of pages, I do find such a list of functions.  Could that list be put in the left frame?

Reproduce code:
---------------
Go to http://ca.php.net/manual/en/
Click on 'array functions'


Expected result:
----------------
I'd like to see a list of array functions on the left.

Actual result:
--------------
I see a list of sections on the left.

I guess that if you are on the array_change_key_case function page, you still expect the array functions list to be on the right. The rule is that the sections on the same level are listed on the left side.

You have an option to go to any array function directly with eg http://php.net/sort and you will get the sort functions page. There the other array functions are listed on the right as expected.

I mean left, not right...

Ok, the idea is that in order to find what you're looking for in a reference, you have to pick a subcategory, not a category.

This would be nice, I agree, but it's probably too big of a change to make to our manual, in that it'd affect all the forms we publish, probably, require changing important rendering code, and this is a big sentence.
