Avatars in Gallery are Unsorted

[Mick]

why would … phpBB choose to sort in such a nonsensical way?

I know there has to be a reason but I can’t see it.

ksort — Sort an array by key in ascending order versus natsort — Sort an array using a "natural order" algorithm

Maybe because ksort has a flags parameter you can use to get other results.
Like ksort($avatar_list, SORT_NATURAL); which will get the exact same result as natsort while natsort is doing only this.

Sorting type flags:

• SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally; the details are described in the comparison operators section
• SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically
• SORT_STRING - compare items as strings
• SORT_LOCALE_STRING - compare items as strings, based on the current locale. It uses the locale, which can be changed using setlocale()
• SORT_NATURAL - compare items as strings using "natural ordering" like natsort()
• SORT_FLAG_CASE - can be combined (bitwise OR) with SORT_STRING or SORT_NATURAL to sort strings case-insensitively

But, if the user can’t select any of the options available with ksort without making code changes, it seems a bit pointless. I suppose my real point is if you’re going to sort sort in a way that’s useful. Maybe an extension would be in order (no pun intended ) if possible?

Thanks for the explanation BTW.
