Array sorting problem

Anon

Hello there!

I have a problem sorting this array:
$first[$x] = array(name=>$name_ac, unique=>$unique, raw=>$raws);
in a way that the highest value of unique/raw are put on top of the array in descending order. I am relatively new to PHP and couldn't find anything about this matter in my books or online........
Please help. Thank you

1) you have a two-dimension array and you are tring to sort by elements in the second dim.

2) you want to sort by two keys

You can't do either one of these with a simple built in function; you will have to do it with code.

Do you really need to sort the array, or do you just need to output the information in that order?

I actually only need to output the data in that order. I managed to sort it but now I have a problem with outputting it.
Can I do something like while($array) or so?
I don't want to use foreach since I know what elements I want to access. I just need to loop thru the first dimension.

Try array_walk()
