Refinement of arfsort to allow per-field sort direction setting:
<?php
function arfsort( $a, $fl ){
$GLOBALS['__ARFSORT_LIST__'] = $fl;
usort( $a, 'arfsort_func' );
return $a;
}
// extended to allow sort direction per field sorted against
function arfsort_func( $a, $b ){
foreach( $GLOBALS['__ARFSORT_LIST__'] as $f ) {
switch ($f[1]) { // switch on ascending or descending value
case "d":
$strc = strcmp( strtolower($b[$f[0]]), strtolower($a[$f[0]]) );
if ( $strc != 0 ){
return $strc;
}
break;
default:
$strc = strcmp( strtolower($a[$f[0]]), strtolower($b[$f[0]]) );
if ( $strc != 0 ){
return $strc;
}
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
// Just prints out record contents
function show($test) {
foreach ($test as $key=>$row) {
print "<li>($key) ".$row['fruit']." is
".$row['type']." at ".$row['time']." on
".$row['date']."</li>\n";
}
print "<hr>";
}
// Example usage
$test = array(
array( 'fruit' => 'Lemon', 'type' => 'sour',
'date' => '2006-05-16', 'time' => '12:36'),
array( 'fruit' => 'Banana','type' =>
'sweet','date' => '2006-05-17','time' =>
'12:35'),
array( 'fruit' => 'Apple', 'type' =>
'sweet','date' => '2006-05-17','time' =>
'12:35'),
array( 'fruit' => 'green apple', 'type' => 'sour',
'date' => '2006-05-16', 'time' => '12:37')
);
show($test);
$order_arr =
array(
array('date','d'), // d means decending - swap for 'a' to see
effect
array('time','a'),
array('fruit','a')
);
$sorted = arfsort( $test, $order_arr);
show($sorted);
?>
