sorting multi-dimension arrays

[chrislive]

hey everyone,

havent posted for a while but was hoping someone could help me out with this issue..

I have a multi-dimension array...

$contacts[] = array("type" => "$type", "contact" => "$contact", "othertype" => "$othertype");

i'm getting that data from a DB and that works fine.. what i want to be able to do is sort by the type in an order specified by me... eg i want it to sort the array into the order phone, fax, mobile

how do i that with a multi-dimension array?

Thanks
Chris

Start by looking at the array_multisort() function. Warning: it will probably give you a headache -- at least it did for me first time I tried to use it. 😉
