Re: sorting multi-dimensional arrays

The easiest way is probably to just use a for loop. For instance (no pun intended...well, maybe just a little one): $imax = sizeof($joke); for ($i = 0; $i < $imax; $i++) { if (sizeof($joke[$i]) > 1) { sort($joke[$i]); } } That will handle the sorting of any two-dimensional array. It won't effect the first dimension however, so if you want to sort that you will need to do it first. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was. <Shane43@aol.com> wrote in message news:a3.1456d8ad.28091ba5@aol.com... > I have a question about sorting multidimensional arrays.
