Re: array_multisort

Ok. As far as I can tell from your example - you have a single multidimensional array. From my reading of array_multisort it looks like it is supposed to sort multiple arrays that happen to be the same length, which is a little different. Conceptually, what I think you have is an array of records which you want to sort by one of the elements in the record. What I think you want is "uasort", with something like: function compare( $left, $right ) {

    return ( $left[keycount] - $right[keycount] );

} uasort( $result, "compare" ); At 03:43 26/09/2001 -0700, Richard Baskett wrote:

Ok i've gone through the archives.. and you know.. I don't think anybody really understands this function. I hope I am wrong, but here goes. I have an array called let's say.. $results first dimension are just numbers and the second has associative names [name],[title],[descript],[keycount] so basically $result[0][name] $result[0][title] $result[0][descript] $result[0][keycount] The first dimension goes up to hmm.. in the three digits and each has the four other "categories", I want to sort $result by [keycount] which are all numbers. How the umm.. heck do you use that funky array_multisort function?
