I have found myself digging for this code a few times recently. I figured I would just add it to the “easy access pile”. It’s a great way to sort an array of associative arrays… by one of the associative array key values.
function cust_sort($a,$b) {
return strtolower($a['name']) > strtolower($b['name']);
}
usort($dealers, 'cust_sort');
Hi there, this was really helpful for me as far as brainstorming went. It really got me on the right track to what I needed to do. I ended up going about this a different way, however. Your way is much simpler but I ran into an issue where I had an array full of objects (etc etc, really just a mess) and needed to do similar. I did something like the following:
$cities = array();
foreach($locs as $loc) {
array_push($cities,$loc->city);
}
array_reverse($cities);
array_multisort($cities,$locs);
Thanks for the spark, though!
