How to have a stable sort in PHP with arsort()?

by

Construct a new array whose elements are the original array’s keys, values, and also position:

$temp = array();
$i = 0;
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
  $temp[] = array($i, $key, $value);
  $i++;
}

Then sort using a user-defined order that takes the original position into account:

uasort($temp, function($a, $b) {
 return $a[2] == $b[2] ? ($a[0] - $b[0]) : ($a[2] < $b[2] ? 1 : -1);
});

Finally, convert it back to the original associative array:

$array = array();
foreach ($temp as $val) {
  $array[$val[1]] = $val[2];
}
