Sorting date in php array

[peterjc]

There are php sort() function to sort array.  But the problem that i face is how to sort the two-dimensional array and sort the date in desending order?  the array is as below

 

$data = array();

$data[0][0] = "2008-05-23";
$data[0][1] = "data 1";
$data[1][0] = "2008-05-15";
$data[1][1] = "data 2";
$data[2][0] = "2008-06-06";
$data[2][1] = "data 3";
$data[3][0] = "2008-05-08";
$data[3][1] = "data 4";

 

Any help is appreciated.  Thank in advance.

What are you actually asking?  You want the whole array to be sorted based on the date?

 

Ie:

$data[0][0] = "2008-05-23";

$data[0][1] = "data 1";

$data[1][0] = "2008-05-15";

$data[1][1] = "data 2";

$data[2][0] = "2008-06-06";

$data[2][1] = "data 3";

$data[3][0] = "2008-05-08";

$data[3][1] = "data 4";

 

Becomes:

$data[0][0] = "2008-05-08";

$data[0][1] = "data 4";

$data[1][0] = "2008-05-15";

$data[1][1] = "data 2";

$data[2][0] = "2008-05-23";

$data[2][1] = "data 1";

$data[3][0] = "2008-06-06";

$data[3][1] = "data 3";

array_multisort($data, SORT_DESC);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";

 

This basically sorts by the first dimension in the array. This operates similar to a ORDER BY clause in a sql query. Check the array_multisort section in the manual for more.
