Re: how to move one element of an array to the end of the array

Chris, Good solution but I should have mentioned we're running PHP 4.04 and I was getting an undeclared function with array_search. I tried using array_keys without luck. Here's as far as I got; while ($make_row = mysql_fetch_array ($make_result)) { if (in_array ("No model specified", $make_row)) { $make_row_keys = array_keys ($make_row, "No model specified"); reset($make_row); while (list($key,$value) = each($make_row_keys)) { $noMake = array_splice( $make_row, $value, 0); $newResults = array_merge( $make_row, $noMake ); } } else { $newResults = array_merge( $make_row, $noMake ); } To clarify, I have to sort on model, not make. I'm querying the database for make, model, make_id and model_id. Thanks for the good solution though, I should have been more specific.
