So what you really need is the min/max value of alpha numeric values in an
array?  Well then here you go.  This is the second function that I've given
away today.  I hope it does what you need..

function max_alpha($array)
{
 if (!is_array($array))
    return false;

 foreach($array as $key => $val)
 {
     if(!isset($prev_val))
         $max_val = '';

     $result = strcmp($val, $max_val);
     if ($result > 0) // < for min value
     {
         $max_val = $val;
     }
 }
 return $max_val;
}
