A VBScript equivalent of PHP’s uasort

Function uasort(ByRef arr, cmp_function)

    uasort = false
    If Not IsObject(arr) Then  Exit Function

    Dim key,keys
    Dim new_arr : set new_arr = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    Dim found
    Dim cnt

    keys = array_values(arr)
    usort keys,cmp_function

    For Each key In keys
        found = array_keys(arr,key,true)
        If isArray(found) Then
            For cnt = 0 to uBound(found)
                If Not new_arr.Exists(found(cnt)) Then
                    new_arr.Add found(cnt), arr(found(cnt))
                End If
            Next
        Else
            new_arr.Add found, arr(found)
        End If
    Next

    set arr = new_arr

    uasort = true

End Function
