Sorting strings?

[xwishmasterx]

Hello

 

I am having issues trying to sort some some results.

 

example results from table:

 

30/1

8/2

12/1

12/2

 

How can I sort these to make value before "/" go first and if first value are the same the the value after "/" be first:

 

30/1

12/2

12/1

8/2

 

All ideas appreciated

Use usort with a function like

function($a, $b) {
	list($a1, $a2) = explode("/", $a);
	list($b1, $b2) = explode("/", $b);
	return ($a1 != $b1 ? $a1 - $b1 : $a2 - $b2);
}

Also check out the natsort function.

 

Alternatively, you could brute force it with some loops...

 

foreach ($results as $result) {
	list($a, $b) = explode("/", $result);
	$data[$a][] = $b;
}

foreach (ksort($data) as $key => $values) {
	sort($values);
	foreach (sort($value) as $x) {
		print $key . "/" . $x;
	}
}

Not exactly elegant though.
