note 42723 added to function.uasort

Below another array sorting function - you can use many keys, whether order type is ascendant or descendant, if values of given key should be treat as string or numeric, if array keys should be preserved. This function is locale-safe - it means that string sorting will be based on setLocale settings. You should be aware that I did not make comprehensive tests, so be careful... // my locales SetLocale(LC_COLLATE,"pl_PL.UTF-8"); SetLocale(LC_CTYPE, "pl_PL.UTF-8"); function Array_Sort ($array, $arguments = Array(), $keys = true) { // comparing function code $code = ""; // foreach sorting argument (array key) foreach ($arguments as $argument) { // order field $field = substr($argument, 2, strlen($argument)); // sort type ("s" -> string, "n" -> numeric) $type = $argument[0]; // sort order ("+" -> "ASC", "-" -> "DESC") $order = $argument[1]; // add "if" statement, which checks if this argument should be used $code .= "if (!Is_Numeric(\$result) || \$result == 0) "; // if "numeric" sort type if (strtolower($type) == "n") $code .= $order == "-" ? "\$result = (\$a['{$field}'] > \$b['{$field}'] ? -1 : (\$a['{$field}'] < \$b['{$field}'] ? 1 : 0));" : "\$result = (\$a['{$field}'] > \$b['{$field}'] ? 1 : (\$a['{$field}'] < \$b['{$field}'] ? -1 : 0));"; // if "string" sort type else $code .= $order == "-" ? "\$result = strcoll(\$a['{$field}'], \$b['{$field}']) * -1;" : "\$result = strcoll(\$a['{$field}'], \$b['{$field}']);"; } // return result $code .= "return \$result;"; // create comparing function $compare = create_function('$a, $b', $code); // sort array and preserve keys if ($keys) uasort($array, $compare); // sort array, but not preserve keys else usort($array, $compare); // return array return $array; } Example array: $array['sdsd'] = array("dir" => 1, "name" => "sas", "olek" => "sdsd"); $array['sds2'] = array("dir" => 2, "name" => "&#347;as", "olek" => "t"); Example - preserve keys: print_r(Array_Sort($array, Array("s-name", "n-dir", "s+olek"))); Array ( [sds2] => Array ( [dir] => 1 [name] => &#347;as [olek] => t ) [sdsd] => Array ( [dir] => 1 [name] => sas [olek] => sdsd ) ) Example - without preserving keys: print_r(Array_Sort($array, Array("s-name", "n-dir", "s+olek")), false); Array ( [0] => Array ( [dir] => 1 [name] => &#347;as [olek] => t ) [1] => Array ( [dir] => 1 [name] => sas [olek] => sdsd ) ) Enyoj ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uasort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42723 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42723&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42723&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
