The class method presented in the post below is by far the easiest method to use. Here's a
remake which allows you to sort the array ascending or descending in a more user-friendly manner:
<?php
class sortByKey {
var $key;
function __construct($key) {
$this->key = $key;
}
// comparison function for ascending order
function asc($a,$b) {
$key = $this->key;
if ($a[$key] == $b[$key]) return 0;
return (($a[$key] > $b[$key]) ? 1 : -1);
}
// comparison function for descending order
function desc($a,$b) {
$key = $this->key;
if ($a[$key] == $b[$key]) return 0;
return (($a[$key] < $b[$key]) ? 1 : -1);
}
}
// then just call (as an example)
usort($products, array(new sortByKey("price"), "desc"));
// to sort an array of products by price in descending order
?>
