Sort array by another array or key in X order 2

[craigey]

Hi All,

I have an array that contains a list of 10 files. I want to change the order of some of the elements in the array so whe I do a for each loop the first three elements are always in the same order.

eg:

$contentfiles = glob("" . $files . "*.php");

$correctorder = array ('0' => "./index.php", '1' => "./services.php", '2' => "./map.php", '3' => "", '4' => "", '5' => "", '6' => "", '7' => "", '8' => "", '9' => "", '10' => "");

Alternatively is there someway to manipulate the key?

$contentfiles = glob("" . $files . "*.php");

//not actual code but what I'm trying to explain :-)

$correctorder = array ('2','4','5','0','1','3');

$contentfiles[$key]=$correctorder[key];

foreach ($contentfiles as $filename){

blah
}

<?php
$contentfiles = glob("" . $files . "*.php");
$correctorder = array ("./index.php","./services.php","./map.php"); //just profile the files you want frontloaded
foreach ($correctorder as $i):
  $keys = array_keys($contentFiles, $i); //locate key of item
  unset($contentfiles[$keys[0]]); //remove the array items from $contentFiles
endforeach;
$files = array_merge($correctorder, $contentfiles);
?>

Thanks. I think I might save that one as a useful function.
