help with array_multisort

[Anon]

I need some help with array_multisort
(this is php4 only, btw)

$fruits = array (
"a" => array ("or"=>"orange", "ba"=>"banana", "ap"=>"apple"),
"vegie" => array ("ca" => "carrot"));
;

I want the result to be ordered
$array[a][ap]; (apple)
$array[a][ba]; (banana)
$array[a][ca]; (carrot)
$array[a][or]; (orange)

so I am sorting by the 2nd dimention. where the first is always the same.

but I'm not quite sure how to set up the array_multisort command.

I could just define another array and do ksort, but that seems unnecessary.

thanks

Ok, the only problem there is, that you don't HAVE a $array[a][carrot] in the array! You have a $array[vegie][carrot], but not an [a][carrot]. Maybe you want to merge the two included array's first and then sort?

sorry. I wrote that really badly. let me try again.

$food[fruit][name] = banana;
$food[fruit][name] = orange;
$food[vegie][name] = carrot;
$food[fruit][name] = apple;

I want the result to be ordered
apple, banana, carrot, orange

so I am sorting by name
