print order of associatve array

Ive got a series of 2 dimensional associative arrays
while(list($key, $val) = each ($results))
{
{foreach($val as $i=>$v)
print "$i = $v";
}
}

but i want to define the order that the various $i's are printed in
(not numerical/alphabetically)

arrays named
"key1_sorted_order" = keys in the order to be printed
"key2_sorted_order"
ive been experimeting with

while(list($key, $val) = each ($results))
{
{foreach($val as $i=>$v)
$ks=$i.'_sorted_order';
($cntr=0;cntr<count($ks);$i++ )
{ print [$ks[$i]] =$results[$val[$ks[$i]]] ;}
}
}


anyone able tohelp me out ?
