Question

I have a dropdown menu that need to be sorted alphabeticaly by name.

Here’s the code

<?php foreach ($option['option_value'] as $option_value) { ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>"><?php
        echo $option_value['name'];
        if ($option_value['price']) {
            ?>(<?php echo $option_value['price_prefix']; ?><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?>)<?php
        }
        ?>
    </option>
    <?php
}
?>

I want the $option_value to be sorted by the $option_value[‘name’]. How can I achieve this ?

Update

Using sort() or asort() before don’t fix the problem, the order I get is

<option value="14598">Medium - red (0588390) [0]    </option>
<option value="14599">large - WHITE (0592167) [1]  </option>
<option value="14600">Medium - WHITE (0592168) [3]  </option>
<option value="14601">large - THE ROYALS (0592169) [0]  </option>
<option value="14602">Medium - THE ROYALS (0592170) [2] </option>

It sort by the value ID but I need to be sorted by it’s name

Answer 1

Try this before your foreach:

function mysort($a, $b)
{
    return strcmp($a['option_value']['name'], $b['option_value']['name']);
}

usort($option, 'mysort');
