Question

I want to sort all php arrays based on first main array.

This is the main array which I want to use to sort all other arrays:

Array (

[0] => 10
[1] => 14
[2] => 15
[3] => 20
[4] => 21
[5] => 24
[6] => 25
[7] => 28
[8] => 30
[9] => 45
[10] => 60
[11] => 90
[12] => 120
[13] => 150
[14] => 180
[15] => 210
[16] => 240
[17] => 270
[18] => 365

)

This are arrays which need to be sorted :

Array (

[0] => Array
    (
        [14] => 49.21
        [20] => 71.04
        [25] => 89.58
        [30] => 100.00
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [180] => 412.00
        [150] => 347.00
        [120] => 285.00
        [90] => 224.00
        [60] => 165.00
        [30] => 100.00
        [14] => 47.00
    )

)

I need that final result look like this:

Array (

[0] => Array
    (
        [10] => n/a
        [14] => 49.21
        [15] => n/a
        [20] => 71.04
        [21] => n/a
        [24] => n/a
        [25] => 89.58
        [28] => n/a
        [30] => 100.00
        [45] => n/a
        [60] => n/a
        [90] => n/a
        [120] => n/a
        [150] => n/a
        [180] => n/a
        [210] => n/a
        [240] => n/a
        [270] => n/a
        [365] => n/a
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [10] => n/a
        [14] => 71.04
        [15] => n/a
        [20] => n/a
        [21] => n/a
        [24] => n/a
        [25] => n/a
        [28] => n/a
        [30] => 100.00
        [45] => n/a
        [60] => 165.00
        [90] => 224.00
        [120] => 285.00
        [150] => 347.00
        [180] => 412.00
        [210] => n/a
        [240] => n/a
        [270] => n/a
        [365] => n/a
    )

    )

Thanks.

If I understand it right from your question, you want to make both arrays of the same length and set keys not in them to "n/a".

Variant with array_merge (Demo):

$shorten = array(
  0 => 10,
  1 => 14,
  2 => 15,
  3 => 20,
  4 => 21,
  5 => 24,
  6 => 25,
  7 => 28,
  8 => 30,
  9 => 45,
  10 => 60,
  11 => 90,
  12 => 120,
  13 => 150,
  14 => 180,
  15 => 210,
  16 => 240,
  17 => 270,
  18 => 365,
);

$data = array(
  0 => array(
    14 => '49.21',
    20 => '71.04',
    25 => '89.58',
    30 => '100.00',
  ),
  1 => array(
    180 => '412.00',
    150 => '347.00',
    120 => '285.00',
    90 => '224.00',
    60 => '165.00',
    30 => '100.00',
    14 => '47.00',
  ),
);

// default array as the base
$shorten = array_combine($shorten, array_fill(0, count($shorten), 'n/a'));

foreach($data as &$array) {
    // merge to get set members
    $array = array_merge($shorten, $array);
}
unset($array);

var_dump($data);

Result:

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(23) {
    [0]=>
    string(3) "n/a"
    [1]=>
    string(3) "n/a"

Variant with mapping function (Demo):

$shorten = array(
  0 => 10,
  1 => 14,
  2 => 15,
  3 => 20,
  4 => 21,
  5 => 24,
  6 => 25,
  7 => 28,
  8 => 30,
  9 => 45,
  10 => 60,
  11 => 90,
  12 => 120,
  13 => 150,
  14 => 180,
  15 => 210,
  16 => 240,
  17 => 270,
  18 => 365,
);

// overload $shorten array with a mapping function
$shorten = function(array $a) use ($shorten)
{
    $r = array();
    foreach($shorten as $i => $k)
    {
        $r[$k] = isset($a[$k]) ? $a[$k] : 'n/a';
    }
    return $r;
};


$data = array(
  0 => array(
    14 => '49.21',
    20 => '71.04',
    25 => '89.58',
    30 => '100.00',
  ),
  1 => array(
    180 => '412.00',
    150 => '347.00',
    120 => '285.00',
    90 => '224.00',
    60 => '165.00',
    30 => '100.00',
    14 => '47.00',
  ),
);

// apply mapping function to $data
$data = array_map($shorten, $data);

var_dump($data); # result
