Natsort multi-dimensional array

[Andy-H]

Does anyone know of a way I can natsort a multi-dimension array by a value nested in the array 2 keys deep?

 

 

I.e.

 

 

array(
   'test1' => array(
      'location' => '123 fake street',
      'time'     => 120
),
'test2' => array(
      'location' => '123 elm street',
      'time'     => 34
),
'test3' => array(
      'location' => '123 php street',
      'time'     => 133
)
);
// would become
array(
'test2' => array(
      'location' => '123 elm street',
      'time'     => 34
),
   'test1' => array(
      'location' => '123 fake street',
      'time'     => 120
),
'test3' => array(
      'location' => '123 php street',
      'time'     => 133
)
);

 

 

thanks for any help

You can also just use usort

Cheers, thats what I'm lloking at ATM Dan, do you know the function used for natsorting in PHP??

usort($info['summary'], function($v1, $v2) { return strnatcmp($v1, $v2); });

That doesn't work.

usort($info['summary'], function($v1, $v2) { return (strtolower($v1['time']) == strtolower($v2['time'])) ? strnatcmp($v1['time'], $v2['time']) : strnatcasecmp($v1['time'], $v2['time']); });

 

 

Got it, cheers guys (Y)
