How can I sort this type of aray by telling witch key I'll sort on (asc/Desc)If I wish to sort by name key or by city key ascendent or descendent how can I do it?
Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => Matias Brown [city] => Los Angeles ) [1] => Array ( [id] => 2 [name] => Andy Falco [city] => Las Vegas ) [2] => Array ( [id] => 3 [name] => Brian Garvin [city] => San Francisco ) } Thanks. |

Re: How can I sort this type of aray by telling witch key I'll sort on (asc/Desc)Hi,
TBS cannot do that for you. And Php sorting functions sort only value, not sub-values. You have to use a sort algorithm. A good one and simple to code is the bubble sort algorithm. An example here: http://www.metalshell.com/view/source/118/ |

Re: How can I sort this type of aray by telling witch key I'll sort on (asc/Desc)Thanks Skrol29, I've made my own function for that...If someone needs an multy array sort function by keys here it is:
function arr_keys_multisort($arr,$my_key,$sort_type) { foreach ($arr as $key => $row) { $arr_tmp[$key] = $row["$my_key"]; } if ($sort_type=='desc') array_multisort($arr_tmp, SORT_DESC, $arr); else array_multisort($arr_tmp, SORT_ASC, $arr); return $arr; } |
