Re: multidimensional array sort

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php I did go through that, but I can't get it to work and I'm almost willing to bet it's because of the way the array is built. For example, the example on that page says that I should be able to do a sort on $ar[0] and $ar[1], however in my array both of those return 0. In fact, when I do this:

     echo "items in array: " . count($data) . "<br />";         for ($i = 0; $i < count($data); $i++) {
       echo "data[$i]: " . count($data[$i]) . "<br />";
     }

I get:

     items in array: 2
     data[0]: 0
     data[1]: 0

When I do a print_r($data), I get:

     Array
       (
          [John] => Array
             (
                [KIRASH] => Array
                  (
                     [0] => 050311_18.00.59__KIRASH.zip
                     [1] => 050311_18.10.20__KIRASH.zip
                  )
                [MCCROY] => Array
                  (
                     [0] => 050312_20.52.28__MCCROY.zip
                  )
             )

          [Ron] => Array
             (
                [EMBROR] => Array
                  (
                     [0] => 050314_15.47.56__EMBROR.zip
                  )
             )
       )

Soooo, I'm at a loss here. I think I need to create the array differently for it to work. -- H | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
