Note Submitter: jazzduck at nospam dot gmail dot com ---- Holdoffhunger was looking for a way to sort strings by their length. Here is a much smaller and less roundabout way: <?php usort( $array_of_data, function( $x, $y ){ return strlen( $x ) - strlen( $y ); } ); ?> This will sort shortest-to-longest; if you want longest-to-shortest then reverse the equation: strlen( $y ) - strlen( $x ). Requires PHP 5.3 or greater!
