From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.ksort#Examples
---

The example would be clearer if the first letter of each array value matched the corresponding array key, like so:

$fruits = array("l"=>"lemon", "c"=>"cranberry", "a"=>"apple", "b"=>"banana");

Then, when the output is shown, the reader can easily see that key => value mappings are preserved:

a = apple
b = banana
c = cranberry
l = lemon

There's not enough need for that, and - if anything - could potentially introduce 
more of an issue by using a lower-case 'L' in the example.  It's worked fine for 
years.
