array Order

[wolves]

I have an array like this

[code]

Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 99 [text] => ZZZZZ ) [1] => Array ( [id] => 89 [text] =>  MYTEST ) [2] => Array ( [id] => 79 [text] => AAAAA ) [3] => Array ( [id] => [text] => SELECT ONE ) )

[/code]

Now, how to order this array by alphabetic [text] key, and keeping the [id] intact?

tks..


arsort , solved

arsort() will sort it by id descending.

If that solved it, you asked the wrong question.

But if you do want it sorted by 'text' you need usort() and a custom sort function.

[code]$data = array (
        0 => array (
               'id' => 99,
               'text' => 'ZZZZZ'
               ) ,

        1 => array (
               'id' => 89,
               'text' => 'MYTEST'
               ),

        2 => array (
               'id' => 79,
               'text' => 'AAAAA'
               ),

        3 => array (
               'id' => 109,
               'text' => 'SELECT ONE'
               )
        );

function textsort($a, $b) {
         return strcmp($a['text'], $b['text']);
}

usort ($data, 'textsort');

// check results
echo '<pre>', print_r ($data, true), '</pre>';[/code]
