note 97766 added to function.array-multisort

Easiest way I find out to sort an entire multidimensional array by one element of it: $multiArray = Array( Array("id" => 1, "name" => "Defg"), Array("id" => 2, "name" => "Abcd"), Array("id" => 3, "name" => "Bcde"), Array("id" => 4, "name" => "Cdef")); $tmp = Array(); foreach($multiArray as &$ma) $tmp[] = &$ma["name"]; array_multisort($tmp, $multiArray); foreach($multiArray as &$ma) echo $ma["name"]."<br/>"; /* Outputs Abcd Bcde Cdef Defg */ ^-^ ---- Server IP: 201.216.232.3 Probable Submitter: 190.50.99.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97766 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97766 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97766 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
