Sort array by both numeric and string keys

i have tried both ksort and asort but in both cases all always shows at bottom..

but i want to display array of index 'all' at top then numeric fields should be displayed.

Actually i am adding that key manually.

    $result['all'] = new stdClass();
    $result['all']->DisciplinaryAction = 'All';
    $result['all']->DisciplinaryActionID = 0;

i tried ksort($result) and also tried asort($result) but in both cases text/string always arranged to bottom..

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [DisciplinaryAction] => counseling
            [DisciplinaryActionID] => 1
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [DisciplinaryAction] => verbal warning
            [DisciplinaryActionID] => 2
        )

    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [DisciplinaryAction] => written warning
            [DisciplinaryActionID] => 3
        )

    [3] => stdClass Object
        (
            [DisciplinaryAction] => suspension
            [DisciplinaryActionID] => 4
        )

    [4] => stdClass Object
        (
            [DisciplinaryAction] => termination
            [DisciplinaryActionID] => 5
        )

    [all] => stdClass Object
        (
            [DisciplinaryAction] => All
            [DisciplinaryActionID] => 0
        )

)

You can use uasort, uksort or usort to define how this should be handled.

http://php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php

EDIT : Here's a comparison function for uksort

function cmp($a, $b)
{
    if ($a == $b)
        return 0;
    else if (is_string($a))
        return -1;
    else if (is_string($b))
        return 1;
    else
        return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}

See How can I sort arrays and data in PHP?.

The much more sensible way to do this, rather than sorting, is probably just to add the key to the beginning of the array directly:

$arr = array_merge(array('all' => new stdClass), $arr);
