Re: Array Sorting

Use usort. This function should do the work: function cmp ($a, $b) {

    if ($a['manufacturer'] == $b['manufacturer']) return 0;
    return ($a['manufacturer'] > $b['manufacturer']) ? -1 : 1;

I have an array that looks like this: $i = 0; $item[$i] = array( 'link' => 'http://...',

                  'title'  => 'some title',

                  'manufacturer'   => 'Kraft'
                  ); $i++;

etc., etc. I would like to sort $items based on the manufacturer of each array within. So that, in the above example, the second one would come before the first. Is there a way to do that?
