What are common challenges faced when sorting entries in PHP treeview systems?

Common challenges faced when sorting entries in PHP treeview systems include maintaining the hierarchical structure of the tree while sorting the entries based on a specific criteria, such as alphabetical order or numerical value. One approach to solving this challenge is to use recursive functions to traverse the tree and sort the entries at each level accordingly. 

function sortTree($tree) {
    if (is_array($tree)) {
        ksort($tree); // Sort entries at current level
        foreach ($tree as $key => $value) {
            $tree[$key] = sortTree($value); // Recursively sort entries at lower levels
        }
    }
    return $tree;
}

// Example usage
$sortedTree = sortTree($unsortedTree);
