Use usort (stealing from php docs): function cmp($a['score'], $b['score']) { if ($a['score'] == $b['score']) {

       return 0;

} return ($a['score'] < $b['score']) ? -1 : 1; } $data = array(...); usort($data, "cmp"); This won't work for me as I have 500+ records to sort based on the score key.. looking at jochem's class now. Thanks
