Using usort and strcomp together to order an array by one of its keys has an odd effect: it returns
my array with fewer items in it than I put in.
The array in my case contains a list of tasks, and I want to order the rows in the array by the
field 'displayorder', which is a number but which I want to be sorted in alphabetical
manner.
function treeSort($a, $b) {
return strcmp(strval($a['displayOrder']), strval($b['displayOrder']));
}
usort($tree, "treeSort");
There are nine rows, but I only get six of them back. Those six are nicely sorted, by the way.
