How are you looping over the array?

If you use a for-loop with a counter, then you will see the elements in 
the array in order of the count.

If you use a foreach-loop, then you'll see the elements in their order 
in the array (the sorted order).

Does this produce the expected output?

foreach ($list as $item) {
     echo "$item\n";
}
