PHP Sorting in Wordpress

Question

This is a very newbie question. But how would I sort the results of this alphabetically so the names in the li list are in order?

<?php 
// FOR THE CATEGORIES (PRODUCT TYPE)
$terms_one = get_terms('product_cat');
$count_one = count($terms_one);  
$i_one = 0; 

echo '<ul class="submenu one filter option-set" data-filter-group="gem-type">';
echo '<li><a href="javascript:void(0)" data-filter-value="" class="selected">ALL</a>';

if ($count_one > 0) {        
foreach ($terms_one as $term_one) 
{
    $i_one++;      
    $term_list_one .= '<li><a href="javascript:void(0)" data-filter-value=".'. $term_one->slug .'"> <span>'. $term_one->count .'</span>'. $term_one->name .'</a></li>';

    if ($count_one != $i_one) 
    {
        $term_list_one .= '';
        } else {
        $term_list_one .= '';
    }
} 
  echo $term_list_one;
}
echo '</ul>';
?>

You can put in an array with arguments in the get_terms() function, orderby and order are probably what you want.

Here's the documentation:

Thanks Jamie. That is what I was using. When it didn't work I thought I must be doing it wrong. I'm trying to sort jigoshop.com categories. Perhaps they do something tricky that doesn't allow to sort?

Try

asort($terms_one);

before doing the foreach loop.

If you want to sort by the array-key you can use ksort() ...
