note 74912 deleted from function.array-multisort by cmb

Note Submitter: scott at bartoncomputer dot com ---- I didn't see this noted anywhere, so I figured I'd put in a little comment regarding arrays located inside classes. For instance: class abc { var $data; } The following code does not act as expected: $clsVar =& new abc(); foreach ($clsVar->data as $key => $row) { $position[$key] = $key; } array_multisort($position, SORT_DESC, $clsVar->data); While I realize this could much easily be acheived using ksort(), this is merely a much more simple example of this behaviour. The exerpt above comes from a much more complicated sort using multi-scripted arrays. Anyway the only way I could find to get around the behaviour of multisort not sorting the referenced class-array was to make a copy of it as below: $clsVar =& new abc(); $newData = $clsVar->data; foreach ($newData as $key => $row) { $position[$key] = $key; } array_multisort($position, SORT_DESC, $newData); Now newData will contain the sorted array as expected. Hopefully this helps someone else!
