Question

I have an array like this:

Array ( 
    [0] => Array ( 
        [tag] => /nn 
        [count] => 55
    ) 
    [1] => Array ( 
        [tag] => /vb 
        [count] => 7
    )
) 

and I want to sort it. In this example it’s already like I want it to be. Sorted by count. What if it was reverse ordered? What function is there to sort it?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Check this code

function aasort (&$array, $key) {
$sorter=array();
$ret=array();
reset($array);
foreach ($array as $ii => $va) {
    $sorter[$ii]=$va[$key];
}
asort($sorter);
foreach ($sorter as $ii => $va) {
    $ret[$ii]=$array[$ii];
}
$array=$ret;
}
aasort($your_array,"order");

Or

I usually use usort, and pass my own comparison function. In this case, it is very simple:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) {
return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
}
usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

Hope you can find your answer. Mark my answer and point me up, thanks.
