Array sorting by value

[Scatless]

Hello, i need some help with sorting arrays by it's value. lets say i want to have two different html tables listing the employees and another for the managers, then i want to sort them by Group ID's:

 

Etc: Workers as the key / 1 as the value.

 

Groups:

Workers => 1

Managers => 2

 

Workers

Group ID

John

1

Peter

1

Lance

1

 

Managers

Group ID

Carol

2

Greg

2

Brian

2

 

How can i do this?

ksort http://us.php.net/ksort

or

asort http://us.php.net/asort

 

i just recently had a similar issue.. and completely forgot about those until someone else reminded me.

asort() can order the elements by their values, but you don't really need to do this. If each table only has one value, then just loop through the array and for each table only print out the people with the relevant group ID.

//eg. for workers
foreach($people as $person => $group){
    if($group == 1) echo $person;
}

Actual implementation depends on how the data is stored etc.
