Help Sorting multiple dimension arrays

[tran_dinh_ba]

Hi all,

I have multiple dimension arrays shown as below:

 

$arr[] = array("m1"="one","m2"=>"two","m3"=>"three");

$arr[] = array("m1"="zone","m2"=>"what","m3"=>"help");

$arr[] = array("m1"=>"show","m2"=>"me","m3"=>"with");

 

$arr[] = array("m1"="ABC","def"=>"adfdf","m3"=>"ewwww");

$arr[] = array("m1"="55555","m2"=>"7777","m3"=>"yyyy");

$arr[] = array("m1"=>"rrrr","m2"=>"wwww","m3"=>"rfrr");

 

$arr[] = array("m1"="fff","m2"=>"vvcv","m3"=>"sdsds");

$arr[] = array("m1"="tyty","m2"=>"yuyu","m3"=>"oioi");

$arr[] = array("m1"=>"3434","m2"=>"4545","m3"=>"45454");

 

Any ones can help me to

display the results of m1,m2,m3 and sort by m1 ASCENDING

AND LIMIT DISPLAY 3 RECORDS PER PAGE?

 

Many thanks.

Tim

I read the word limit and records. Makes me think you are fetching it from a database. Are you using a database, if you are why not sort it before you put it in arrays?

 

otherwise look into array_multisort

These data are drawm from a table which has only 2 columns:

col1,col2

and col1 contain the field names, and col2 contains the values of col1. After fetching these records, I put them into the arrays in the format that I already posted. From those arrays, then I need to do some kind of sorting and displaying the results in the table show as following

col1,col2,col3

value1,value2,value3

value1,value2,value3,

and so on
