[Resolved] array_multisort / Sorting Arrays question...

superwormy

I have an array like this:


[__DATA] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => Array
                                (
                                    [ID] => 1
                                    [myField] => FALSE
                                    [username] => K
                                    [password] => 
                                    [datetime] => 2003-08-11
                                )

                        [1] => Array
                            (
                                [ID] => 2
                                [myField] => FALSE
                                [username] => X
                                [password] => 
                                [datetime] => 2003-09-11
                            )

                        [2] => Array
                            (
                                [ID] => 3
                                [myField] => TRUE
                                [username] => A
                                [password] => 
                                [datetime] => 2003-10-11
                            )

                    )

What I'd like to do is sort by the "username" value. So, those three arrays, 0, 1, 2, should be re-ordered to 2, 0, 1, because A ( which is the username for record 2 ) comes before K, and K ( which is the username for record 0 ) comes before X, and... etc. etc.

You get the idea.

I have a feeling that array_multisort() is the answer, but I dont understand quite what I'm supposed to supply to this function... I keep getting errors and stuff... maybe I'm just dumb today.

If someone could give me an example it would be much appreciated!

barand


function namesort($a, $b) {
   return strcmp($a['username'], $b['username']);
}

$sortedArray = uasort ($__DATA, 'namesort' );

Hehe, ya know funny thing... when I click the Mark Resolved link... it doesn't do anything... doesn't mark it resolved.

i marked it for ya, but anyway, jstarkey is working on getting the problem fixed, there are a few ways when viewing a thread where the link is incorrect and doesn't pass the threadid thru the url, so before you click it, check for the threadid in the status bar
