Sorting multidimensional arrays

[Symmetry]

I have an array that is for example structured as the following:

 

$array['name'][index]

$array['count'][index]

or

$array[index]['name']

$array[index]['count']

 

Where 'count' is a number of records associated with the 'name'.. I'd like to re-sort the array by 'count' descending, but I need to maintain an association to the 'name' values... array_multisort seems to reorganize the array by 'count' but I lose the 'name'. Thank you!

I tried figuring out usort(), but no go. The array has multiple columns too, so it's not a simple case of 'name' and 'count'.. if that makes a difference.. thanks php'ers.

try this

<?php

function mysort($a, $b)
{
     return $b['count'] - $a['count'];
}

uasort($array, 'mysort');
?>

 

If it doesn't work, post the output from

 

var_export($array);

I believe that worked Barand! Thank you, I guess I just wasn't grasping the function.. it was almost too simple
