To append my own answer. In order to sort the non "n/a" values you're going to have to build a separate array and perhaps this will simplfy the problem. So instead of what I suggested below.. loop the array and start TWO new arrays within the loop. One array for "n/a" values and one for non-"n/a" values. After the values are sorted to their separate arrays do asort($nonnavals); then concatonate the two arrays together using array_merge(), putting the "n/a" array second.
