While this may seem obvious, user-defined array sorting functions ( uksort(), uasort(), usort() ) will *not* be called if the array does not have *at least two values in it*.

The following code:                        

<?php

function usortTest($a, $b) {
    var_dump($a);
    var_dump($b);
    return -1;
}

$test = array('val1');
usort($test, "usortTest");

$test2 = array('val2', 'val3');
usort($test2, "usortTest");

?>

Will output: 

string(4) "val3"
string(4) "val2"

The first array doesn't get sent to the function.

Please, under no circumstance, place any logic that modifies values, or applies non-sorting business logic in these functions as they will not always be executed.

Another way to do a case case-insensitive sort by key would simply be:

<?php
uksort($array, 'strcasecmp');
?>

Since strcasecmp is already predefined in php it saves you the trouble to actually write the comparison function yourself.
