Re: Anyone ever done this - sort a multi-dimensional array

You can roll your own fairly easily: function mycmp($a,$b) {

    return strcmp($a[1],$b[1]);

} usort($array, 'mycmp'); ...something like that at any rate. -Steve On Thursday, November 15, 2001, at 10:07 AM, Richard S. Crawford wrote:

Of the type...

        $array[0][0] = "!row of c's";
        $array[0][1] = "cccc";
        $array[1][0] = "row of a's";
        $array[1][1] = "aaaa";
        $array[2][0] = "a row of b's";
        $array[2][1] = "bbbb";

such that you sort on the value of the y-column? In this case, it would end up as:

        +--------------+------+
        | row of a's   | aaaa |
        | a row of b's | bbbb |
        | !row of c's  | cccc |
        +--------------+------+

Strange that I've been working with PHP this long and have never come across this problem. Sliante, Richard S.
