Here's one I whipped up to allow you to sort an array of a specific class by a member or function: <?php // Sort a class by one of its members (even lowercase!!!) function casort($arr, $var) { $tarr = array(); $rarr = array(); for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) { $element = $arr[$i]; $tarr[] = strtolower($element->{$var}); } reset($tarr); asort($tarr); $karr = array_keys($tarr); for($i = 0; $i < count($tarr); $i++) { $rarr[] = $arr[intval($karr[$i])]; } return $rarr; } ?> It works very well. For example, I have a Room class with members title, isActive(), date, etc. I can sort an array by casort($rooms, "title") or casort($rooms, "isActive()") and it'll work. --was-- Here's one I whipped up to allow you to sort an array of a specific class by a member or function: // Sort a class by one of its members (even lowercase!!!) function casort($arr, $var) { $tarr = array(); $rarr = array(); for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) { $element = $arr[$i]; $tarr[] = strtolower($element->{$var}); } reset($tarr); asort($tarr); $karr = array_keys($tarr); for($i = 0; $i < count($tarr); $i++) { $rarr[] = $arr[intval($karr[$i])]; } return $rarr; } It works very well.
