Sorting Multiple Arrays

[kornmonkie]

Hey,

 

I have 3 arrays of info that have been pulled from a database.

 

Here are the names of the arrays.

 

$idcheck[$k]

$titlecheck[$k]

$raritycheck[$k]

 

Each array is related, so $idcheck[1], $titlecheck[1] and $raritycheck[1] all have info related to each other.  Displaying $idcheck[1], $titlecheck[1] and $raritycheck[0] for example, would mismatch the info.

 

What I'm looking to do is setup a way to sort one array, and have the others follow suit.  If $idcheck[1] is sorted alphabeticly, $titlecheck[1] and $raritycheck[1] will still be associated with $titlecheck[1] and be sorted as well.  I'm looking to display the info from all three.

 

I was thinking of using array_multisort, but I am confused by the php site's description of the function.

 

I hope this makes sense.  Let me know if I am being unclear.

 

Cheers.

If these arrays are meant to be related they really shouldn't be in separate arrays in the first place. That is the problem.

 

Fix that, and you'll be able to sort them much more easily.

I pretty much figured it out.

 

array_multisort($idcheck, $titlecheck, $raritycheck);
