If all of the numbers are unique, the easiest thing to do is create an array of everything and sort the array using ksort.

<?php$list = array();$list[7] = "DCole";$list[3] = "SFB";//etcksort($list);?>

If the numbers are not unique, you will want to create a multidimensional array and use usort.

<?php$list = array();$item['id'] = 7;$item['text'] = "DCole";$list[] = $item;$item['id'] = 3;$item['text'] = "SFB";$list[] = $item;usort($list, cmp_function);function cmp_function($a, $b) {   if ($a['id'] == $b['id']) {       return 0;   }   return ($a['id'] < $b['id']) ? -1 : 1;}?>
