Code

function module_config_sort($data) {

  // PHP array sorting functions such as uasort() do not work with both keys and
  // values at the same time, so we achieve weight and name sorting by computing
  // strings with both information concatenated (weight first, name second) and
  // use that as a regular string sort reference list via array_multisort(),
  // compound of "[sign-as-integer][padded-integer-weight][name]"; e.g., given
  // two modules and weights (spaces added for clarity):
  // - Block with weight -5: 0 0000000000000000005 block
  // - Node  with weight  0: 1 0000000000000000000 node
  $sort = array();
  foreach ($data as $name => $weight) {

    // Prefix negative weights with 0, positive weights with 1.
    // +/- signs cannot be used, since + (ASCII 43) is before - (ASCII 45).
    $prefix = (int) ($weight >= 0);

    // The maximum weight is PHP_INT_MAX, so pad all weights to 19 digits.
    $sort[] = $prefix . sprintf('%019d', abs($weight)) . $name;
  }
  array_multisort($sort, SORT_STRING, $data);
  return $data;
