Hi @all, to my previous author: thanks, thanks, thanks! Works great and saved me lot of time. I added an extension for ascending/descending order. Here are the changes: // first i defined two constants for asc and desc // you can skip that, but then you have to change the switch command at the end of the function define("ORDER_ASC", "asc"); define("ORDER_DESC", "desc"); function mu_sort($array, $key_sort, $asc_desc) { // start function // check input parameters if (func_num_args()<2 || func_num_args()>3) die("Wrong number of parameters for the call of mu_sort()"); $array = func_get_arg(0); $key_sort = func_get_arg(1); if (func_num_args()==3) $asc_desc = func_get_arg(2); else $asc_desc = ORDER_ASC; $key_sorta = explode(",", $key_sort); .... // from here it's exactly the same ... // until here } // end loop #2 } // end loop #1 // sort // if you don't want to use the constants defined at the top, change here to whatever you're using switch($asc_desc) { case ORDER_DESC: rsort($output); break; default: sort($output); } // return sorted array return $output; } // end function Now you can call the function like this: mu_sort($array, $key_sort, ORDER_DESC); or even: mu_sort($array, $key_sort); // This will sort the array by default ascending Have fun... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40626 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40626&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40626&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
