note 75137 added to function.sort

How to use an anonymous array to sort any associative array by an arbitrary key (or nested key): $order = -1; # -1 = Ascending. Use 1 for descending. $sortby = "['key1']['subkey']"; $mysort = create_function('$a,$b', "\$a1=\$a$sortby;\$b1=\$b$sortby; if (\$a1==\$b1) return 0; else return (\$a1<\$b1) ? $order : 0- $ order;"); uasort($assocarray, $mysort); You can use this in a recursive function if necessary (which is why I developed it). http://www.pgregg.com/projects/ ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 80.76.201.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75137 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75137 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75137 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
