Thanks for that explanation.
On my end, this usort() call does exactly what it is supposed to:

<?php
$arr = [
	0 => [ 'bird_name' => 'C' , ] ,
	1 => [ 'bird_name' => 'X' , ] ,
	2 => [ 'bird_name' => 'A' , ] ,
	3 => [ 'bird_name' => 'F' , ] ,
];

usort(
	$arr ,
	function( $a , $b ) { return strcmp( $a['bird_name'] , $b['bird_name'] ); }
);

var_dump( $arr );
/*
Prints:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    ["bird_name"]=>
    string(1) "A"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(1) {
    ["bird_name"]=>
    string(1) "C"
  }
  [2]=>
  array(1) {
    ["bird_name"]=>
    string(1) "F"
  }
  [3]=>
  array(1) {
    ["bird_name"]=>
    string(1) "X"
  }
}
*/

Are the names perhaps prefixed with information that does not belong there, for example:

• “B” is in fact “other_pigeons_and_doves B”
• “A” is in fact “pigeons_and_doves A”
• “X” is in fact “pigeons_and_doves X”

and so on? No other possibility comes to my mind.

Please post an example of data that is not sorted correctly.
