I want to sort it by the [title] key. How can I do that? Thanks

you might have some luck using the array_multisort() function

For multi-dimensional arrays I prefer to use usort() over array_multisort() because array_multisort() requires you to recreate the array as multiple arrays in order to work. usort() allows you to create a function to be as simple or complex as you need. In this case:

 

function sortTitles($a, $b)
{
  if($a['title']==$b['title']) { return 0; }
  return ($a['title'] > $b['title']) ? 1 : -1;
}

usort($theArray, 'sortTitles');
