Sorting array of strings by contained numbers?

Question

I have those elements in an array:

/mypath/10_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/1_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/12_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/2_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/3_something_04_06.txt

Now I want to sort it, so that the numbers after /mypath/ are considered. This is what I tried:

sort($myArray, SORT_NUMERIC);
sort($myArray, SORT_STRING );

It doesn't work. Should be expected result like below:

/mypath/1_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/2_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/3_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/10_something_04_06.txt
/mypath/12_something_04_06.txt

Thanks!

Yep, thats the one, thanks!

This is pretty much a link only answer at the moment. Care to flesh it out a little more than this?
