I don't know exactly how you need it sorted, but here I wrote this
little piece of code which I think will do what you are looking to do....

<?php
$prodArr = array("11USD", "11CAD", "11EUR", "119USD", "201EUR",
"70CAD", "60usd");

$sortOk = usort($prodArr, "customSort");

foreach ($prodArr as $key => $val) {
echo "{$key}: {$val}<br />";
}

function customSort($a, $b) {
$sortKeyA = eregi("[A-Z]{3}", $a, $regsA);
$sortKeyB = eregi("[A-Z]{3}", $b, $regsB);
$sortKeyA = $regsA[0];
$sortKeyB = $regsB[0];
return strcasecmp($sortKeyA, $sortKeyB);
}
?>

Hope this helps,

Take care,

Paul
