Suppose you have an associative array
$hash['Fruit'] = 'Apple';
$hash['Name'] = 'Jeff';
$hash['Car'] = 'Ford';
and you cannot change the order in which these variables are created. So Car is always added to the array after Name, etc. What's the prettiest way to add/move Car to the beginning of the associative array instead of the end (default)?
$hash = array('Car' => 'Ford') + $hash;
ksort()
?
But why would you care about the array's internal order?
array_reverse($hash, true);
This is not a very direct solution but one that is:
$value = end($hash);
$hash = array(key($hash) => $value) + $hash;
Another trick is -
$new_items = array('Car' => 'Ford');
$hash = array_merge($new_items, $hash);
You can re arrange the new array keys also. Suppose car first then another field (say Id) then array remain so....
$new_items = array('Car' => 'Ford','Id'=>'New Id');
$hash = array_merge($new_items, $hash);
The array will become like
$hash['Car'] = 'Ford';
$hash['Id'] = 'New Id';
$hash['Fruit'] = 'Apple';
$hash['Name'] = 'Jeff';
