note 59900 added to function.array-multisort

Notepad's example using asort/arsort will -not- work unless 'points' is defined -before- 'name'. Running the posted code sorts by 'name', which was not the point of the previous posts. Defining 'points' as 'apoints' also did not work; however, defining 'points' first yields correct sorting: $test[0]['points']=1; $test[0]['name']='Peter'; $test[1]['points']=5; $test[1]['name']='Mike'; $test[2]['points']=2; $test[2]['name']='John'; asort($test); It appears asort uses the first defined element to sort a multidimensional array. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59900 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59900&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59900&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
