Note Submitter: Alex Rath ---- In Response to Dollar Hauler Admin, this is a little rewrite of your function. <?php function multisort(array &$func_array, $func_sortKey) { $func_tmpArray = $func_retVal = array(); foreach($func_array as $func_index => $func_value) $func_tmpArray[$func_index] = $func_value[$func_sortKey]; asort($func_tmpArray); $func_args = func_get_args(); switch(func_num_args()) { case 2: $func_transfer = function(&$func_a, $func_b) { return $func_a = $func_b; }; break; default: $func_transfer = function(&$func_a, $func_b) use($func_args) { foreach($func_args as $func_index => $func_key) ($func_index) ? $func_a[$func_key] = $func_b[$func_key] : true; return $func_a; }; } foreach($func_tmpArray as $func_index => $func_value) $func_transfer($func_retVal[$func_index], $func_array[$func_index]); return $func_array = $func_retVal; } /* Usage: ====== array multisort(resource $array, mixed $sortBy[, $func_key[, $func_key2[, $func_key3 ... ]]]); Sorts the given $array by $sortBy of it Sub-Arrays.
