Like so: $ar[0] = "second"; $ar[1] = "first"; array_swap ($ar, 0, 1); I have not overlooked the sort functions, that is not what I am after. But I may have overlooked other possibilities. Searching for "swap" in the PHP .CHM (fairly recent) yielded no hits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16119&edit=1
