Order a PHP array based on contents

I have an array in PHP which looks like this:

Array
(
    [2] => post4.post
    [3] => post7.post
    [4] => post5.post
    [5] => post3.post
    [6] => post6.post
    [7] => post1.post
    [8] => post2.post
)

How could I arrange it so it could look like this?

Array
(
    [0] => post7.post
    [1] => post6.post
    [2] => post5.post
    [3] => post4.post
    [4] => post3.post
    [5] => post2.post
    [6] => post1.post
)

The array has a list of the files contained in a folder. In my local server looks like the second example but on a standard server looks like the first one.

Thanks in advance :D

rsort($array) will sort an array in reverse/descending order (from high to low).

For future reference use this page (http://php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php) to identify the most suited array sorting method for your needs.

You don't want to use rsort because it will reassign array indexes. Instead use arsort().

You are looking for rsort.

PHP has great documentation. I suggest you have a look at the array functions and the Sorting Arrays article (which can be easily find via Google ;))
