RE: [PHP] Sorting Multidimensional Arrays

check http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php there's a routine someone wrote in the contributed section... -jack -----Original Message----- From: Rick Dietz [mailto:rbdietz@indiana.edu] Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 1:21 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Sorting Multidimensional Arrays I'm having trouble finding a function to sort a multidimensional array by the value of a given key in the contained arrays. Perhaps i'm missing something, perhaps PHP is missing something. Take the array below. All I'm looking to do is reorder $my_array based on the value of the "name" key for example--to order $my_array based on the alphabetical order of the "names". $my_array = array ( array ("name"=>"Sam", "age"=>"20", married="yes"), array ("name"=>"Alice", "age"=>"25", married="no"), array ("name"=>"Jim", "age"=>"19", married="no"), array ("name"=>"Janice", "age"=>"22", married="yes") ); Am I missing something that already exists? -Rick -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
