Sort Multi-Dimensional Arrays

[maxudaskin]

Hi guys,

I've done a bit of research into sorting a multi-dimensional array that contains the menu information (to be parsed and displayed). Everything that I've read has confused me more than I was when I started.

 

I want it to be sorted by parent (ASC) then by it's sort number (ASC).

 

Array (
   [0] => Array (
      [0] => 2 [id] => 2
      [1] => About Us
      [label] => About Us
      [2] => ?r=about
      [link] => ?r=about
      [3] =>
      [relation] => 
     [4] => 0
     [parent] => 0 
     [5] => 10 
     [sort] => 10 
     [6] => 0 
     [active] => 0 )
   [1] => Array (
      [0] => 3
      [id] => 3
      [1] => Fleet
      [label] => Fleet
      [2] => ?r=about/fleet
      [link] => ?r=about/fleet
      [3] =>
      [relation] =>
      [4] => 2
      [parent] => 2
      [5] => 0
      [sort] => 0
      [6] => 0
      [active] => 0 )
   [2] => Array (
      [0] => 4
      [id] => 4
      [1] => Test
      [label] => Test
      [2] => ?r=test
      [link] => ?r=test
      [3] =>
      [relation] =>
      [4] => 0
      [parent] => 0
      [5] => 5
      [sort] => 5
      [6] => 1
      [active] => 1
      ))

 

Thank you in advance for any help

You're using mysql_fetch_array() to build this array, aren't you? Every value appears in it twice.

Touché.. I didn't think of using MySQL to sort it. Thank you
