Hi All,
I've read the manual several times on sorting multi-dimensional arrays, but
I can't seem to wrap my mind around what I need to do to accomplish my goal.
//this is what I'm doing: (stepping through a result set, and putting it
into a multi-dimensional array.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$docs[$counter][doc_id] = $row[doc_id];
$docs[$counter][doc_name] = $row[doc_name];
$docs[$counter][clinic_id] = $row[clinic_id];
$docs[$counter][clinic_name] = $row[clinic_name];
$counter++;
} //end while
//now, I want that array sorted by the clinic_name, and then doc_name.
Can someone who has more currently active brain cells than me figure out
what the array_multisort function call should look like?
Thanks in advance for any help proffered! It is greatly appreciated!
