Re: sorting multi array

array_multisort accepts column arrays but here you try to sort row based arrays. try this: <? class ArrayUtility {

    /* Sorts an array by a member */
    static private $sortMember;
    static function sortByMember(&$array, $member)
    {
        self::$sortMember = $member;
        usort($array, array('ArrayUtility', 'compareMember'));
    }

    static function compareMember($a, $b)
    {
        return $a[self::$sortMember] > $b[self::$sortMember];
    }

} ArrayUtility::sortByMember($array, 'quantity'); ?> Am 25.04.2007, 12:36 Uhr, schrieb Frank Arensmeier <frank.arensmeier@nikehydraulics.se>:

Jon, I would suggest that you should have a look at the function "array_multisort". See the manual for details on what this function is capable of. //frank 25 apr 2007 kl. 01.58 skrev Jon Bennett:
