Array ordering with a twist

[langfeld]

I have the following array:

Array
(
    [0] => Team Object
        (
            [id] => 0
            [name] => Redgate
            [played] => 4
            [won] => 2
            [drawn] => 1
            [lost] => 1
            [points] => 7
            [goals_for] => 12
            [goals_against] => 8
            [goal_difference] => 4
        )

[1] => Team Object
    (
        [id] => 1
        [name] => Formby
        [played] => 4
        [won] => 1
        [drawn] => 1
        [lost] => 2
        [points] => 4
        [goals_for] => 10
        [goals_against] => 11
        [goal_difference] => -1
    )

[2] => Team Object
    (
        [id] => 2
        [name] => Southport
        [played] => 4
        [won] => 1
        [drawn] => 2
        [lost] => 1
        [points] => 5
        [goals_for] => 12
        [goals_against] => 15
        [goal_difference] => -3
    )

)

I need to order each of the elements of the array in the following way:
points (big->small)
if the number of points is the same between two elements then:
goal_difference (big->small)
if the goal difference is the same:
goals_for (big->small)
if the number of goals for is the same:
name (Alphabetically).

Does anyone know how best to go about doing this?

You are going to have to write a customer sort routine for this. However, from the content above I suspect the size of the array is not too large to it doesn't have to be too efficient so will be quite easy to write.
