Question

I have code like this:

<ul>
    <?php foreach($persons as $key) : ?>
    <?php if($this->session->userdata('id_user') == $key['id_person'] ) : ?>
    <li><em><?php echo $key['name'] . " " . $key['surname'] ?></em></li>
    <?php else : ?>
    <li><?php echo $key['name'] . " " . $key['surname'] ?></li>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

How can I place result from the if condition at the first place? Can I do here or I need to write SQL query?

EDIT:

This is output:

<ul>
<li>Marko Džunić</li>
<li><em>Saša Miljković</em></li>
<li>mirko mirkovic</li>
</ul>

I want to get this:

<ul>
<li><em>Saša Miljković</em></li>
<li>Marko Džunić</li>
<li>mirko mirkovic</li>
</ul>

<ul>
    <?php
        $first = '';
        $content = '';
        $id_user = $this->session->userdata('id_user');    
    ?>
    <?php foreach($persons as $key) : ?>
    <?php
        $id_person = $key['id_person'];
        $name = $key['name'];
        $surname = $key['surname'];

        if ($id_user == $id_person)    
        {            
            $first = '<li><em>' . $name . ' ' . $surname . '</em></li>';
        }
        else
        {
            $content .= '<li>' . $name . ' ' . $surname . '</li>';
        }
    ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php echo $first, $content; ?>
</ul>
