Sorry, I figured my issue was within the code I had
posted. 

Here is everything from the example I'm trying to
understand (with the exception of the $_REQUEST lines
I had to add to exam2.php)

exam.php

<?php
echo "<form method=post action='exam2.php'>";
$student = array("albert einstein", "ivan the
terrible", "napoleon", "simon bolivar", "isaac
newton");

while (list(,$name) = each($student))
{
  echo "what grade did $name get in math?";
  echo "<br><br>";
  echo "<select name='math[]'><option>grade
a</option><option>grade b</option><option>grade
c</option><option>grade d</option><option>grade
f</option></select>";
  
  echo "<br><br>";
  echo "<input type=hidden name=student[]
value='$name'>";
}
echo "<input type=submit>";
echo "<input type=reset></form>";
?>


exam2.php

<?php
$student = $_REQUEST['student'];
$math = $_REQUEST['math'];

echo "in math the grades were in order:<br>";

while (list($index,$value) = each($math))
{
  $gradestudent[] = $math[$index].$student[$index];
}

asort($gradestudent);

while (list($index,$value) = each($gradestudent))
{
  echo "<br>$student[$index] - $math[$index]";
}
?>


My problem is the output from exam2.php is confusing
me.  The output is sorted differently than I'm
understanding the official definition of asort().
