The del.icio.us<\/a> site is a good way to create and share bookmarks, but the sorting is limited to the date and time that the links was added.

The following code seems to work:<\/p>\n

function sort_by_title($big_rss_array)
{
foreach ($big_rss_array as $key => $row) {
$rss_title[$key] = $row['title'];
}
array_multisort($rss_title, SORT_ASC, SORT_STRING, $big_rss_array);

Here’s an example of the above code added to a feed2js<\/a> page: http:\/\/kermitmurray.com\/kkmurray_delicious.html<\/a>. <\/p>\n
