[SOLVED] usort() help

[ballhogjoni]

I want to sort a multi array but don't know how to do it. I read the manual, but it seems pretty complex. In the example below, I want to sort the array by the name. So the array should look like the second example I have.

 

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1386
            [name] => c
            [date_started] => 2006-07-24 12:51:16
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1849
            [name] => d
            [date_started] => 2007-01-04 10:02:21
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 4857
            [name] => a
            [date_started] => 2008-08-22 14:42:35
        )
)

 

Array

        (
            [id] => 4857
            [name] => a
            [date_started] => 2008-08-22 14:42:35
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1386
            [name] => c
            [date_started] => 2006-07-24 12:51:16
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1849
            [name] => d
            [date_started] => 2007-01-04 10:02:21
        )
)

$array; //This is the array you give in your example
$sort = array();
foreach($array as $item)
  $sort[] = $item['name'];
array_multisort($sort,$array);
print_r($array);
