Not with sort; have a go with array_multisort instead:
// Translates 'δ' to 'a', 'λ' to 'e' etcetera
function translate($str) {
$table = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$pattern = '/^&(.)(tilde|grave|acute|circ|tilde|uml);$/';
$ret = '';
for ($i = 0, $max = strlen($str); $i < $max; $i++) {
if (preg_match($pattern, @$table[$str{$i}], $m)) {
$ret .= $m[1];
} else {
$ret .= $str{$i};
}
}
return $ret;
}
$values = array();
foreach ($my_array as $e) {
$values[] = translate(strtolower($e[0])) . $e[1];
}
array_multisort($values, SORT_ASC, $my_array);
