Thanks! I think this would do it: //Untested code: function linkcmp($link1, $link2){ $result = 0; if ($link1['date'] < $link2['date']){ $result = -1; } elseif ($link1['date'] > $link2['date']){ $result = 1; } return $result; } usort($link_array, 'linkcmp'); -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
