Question

i’m trying to sort an array in specific order:

My code (current Array):

Array
(
[25] => Array
    (
        [1st place] => 
    )

[15] => Array
    (
        [2nd place] => 
    )

[10] => Array
    (
        [3rd place] => 
    )

[5] => Array
    (
        [4th place] => 
        [5th place] => 
        [6th place] => 
        [7th place] => 
        [8th place] => 
        [9th place] => 
        [10th place] => 
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [11th place] => 
        [12th place] => 
        [13th place] => 
        [14th place] => 
        [15th place] => 
        [16th place] => 
        [17th place] => 
        [18th place] => 
        [19th place] => 
        [20th place] => 
        [21st place] => 
        [22nd place] => 
        [23rd place] => 
        [24th place] => 
        [25th place] => 
    )

)

Require Array:

Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [1st place] => 25
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [2nd place] => 15
    )

[5] => Array
    (
        [3rd place] => 10
    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [4th place] => 5
        [5th place] => 5
        [6th place] => 5
        [7th place] => 5
        [8th place] => 5
        [9th place] => 5
        [10th place] => 5
    )

[4] => Array
    (
        [11th place] => 1
        [12th place] => 1
        [13th place] => 1
        [14th place] => 1
        [15th place] => 1
        [16th place] => 1
        [17th place] => 1
        [18th place] => 1
        [19th place] => 1
        [20th place] => 1
        [21st place] => 1
        [22nd place] => 1
        [23rd place] => 1
        [24th place] => 1
        [25th place] => 1
    )

)

The idea is like use the Array position (?) as value of the key and set the array in this order:

I’m trying with that code (php)

foreach ($newOptions as $ord) {
            $place = $ord[$idx];
            $value = $ord[$idx][0];
            $newOrderarr[$idx][$value][$place] = $name2;
            $idx++;
        }

But is nor working fine $newoptions is the Array that i’m using for…

You might try this:

foreach($your_array as $key => &$bla) {
    foreach($bla as &$item) {
        $item = $key;
    }
}

sort($your_array);

But I’d rather fix the data structure to begin with, it seems at least… odd.
