note 74460 added to function.asort

This is an even better, memory friendly version of my record_sort() function. This time i made sure that it will not forget any records with the same value for the sort field. Please see the original post from below http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php#71318 It now sorts the array passed to it instead of returning a new array. Also you can now specify if you want to preserve the keys of the array which is useful if you pass it an associative array of records rather than an indexed. <?php //function record_sort(Mixed Array &$records, String $field [, [Boolean $reverse=false], [Boolean $keep_key=false]]) function record_sort(&$records, $field, $reverse=false, $keep_key=false) { $hash = array(); foreach($records as $key => &$record) { $hash[$record[$field]][$key] = $record; unset($records[$key]); } ($reverse)? krsort($hash) : ksort($hash); $records = array(); foreach($hash as $key => &$field) { foreach($field as $key2 => &$record) { ($keep_key)? $records[$key2] = $record : $records []= $record; unset($field[$key2]); } unset($hash[$key]); } unset($hash); } ?> ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.4 Probable Submitter: 80.194.36.8 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74460 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74460 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74460 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
