all numbers are 10x larger or smaller then any other number in the group(i cannot even express myself correctly). What i need is to place them in the array depending on how meny decimal places they occupy given that if they are > 1 the an ofset by the largest number has to be takon in considereation:

table was updated  $a[2] was missing , sorry, thnx choroba !! 

$a[0] = 102;  #1e2
$a[1] = 46;   #1e1
$a[2] = 0;    #1e0
$a[3] = 0;    #1e-1
$a[4] = 0;    #1e-2
$a[5] = 1.3e-3#1e-3
$a[6] = 1e-4  #1e-4
$a[7] = 1e-5  #1e-5
...
$a[14] = 1e-12 #1e-12
