Note Submitter: nospam at nospam dot com ---- Super easy and simple way to sort a keyed multiarray while maintaining all associative keys including numeric. This is awesome! <?php // returns sorted multiarray by its subarray's sortkey in given sortorder while keeping all keys function maSort($ma = '', $sortkey = '', $sortorder = 1) { // sortorder: 1=asc, 2=desc if ($ma && is_array($ma) && $sortkey) { // confirm inputs foreach ($ma as $k=>$a) $temp[$k] = $a[$sortkey]; // save temp array to be sorted if ($sortorder == 2) { // descending arsort($temp); } else { asort($temp); // ascending } $newma = array_replace($temp, $ma); // combine to keep order of sorted array but with original $ma info unset($ma, $temp); // release memory return $newma; } } ?>
