note 99700 added to function.sort

The code below will sort via a field passed as the $on parameter, 3rd parameter is 'SORT_DESC' or 'SORT_ASC'. The function from the previous developer below mine maintains the array index value good for associative arrays but for normal arrays with associative fields like database queries returned as arrays use this. function array_sort($array, $on, $order='SORT_DESC') { $new_array = array(); $sortable_array = array(); if (count($array) > 0) { foreach ($array as $k => $v) { if (is_array($v)) { foreach ($v as $k2 => $v2) { if ($k2 == $on) { $sortable_array[$k] = $v2; } } } else { $sortable_array[$k] = $v; } } switch($order) { case 'SORT_ASC': echo "ASC"; asort($sortable_array); break; case 'SORT_DESC': echo "DESC"; arsort($sortable_array); break; } foreach($sortable_array as $k => $v) { $new_array[] = $array[$k]; } } return $new_array; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 217.40.248.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99700 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99700 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99700 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
