I've got an array with data from a MySQL table in nested set model I'd like to get sorted, not only alphabetical but also with the child nodes directly after the parent node.
Example - array to be sorted (before the sorting):
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Kompetenser
[parent] => 0
[depth] => 0
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Administration
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 11
[name] => Organisation
[parent] => 2
[depth] => 2
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[name] => Arbetsledning
[parent] => 2
[depth] => 2
)
[4] => Array
(
[id] => 17
[name] => Planering
[parent] => 2
[depth] => 2
)
[5] => Array
(
[id] => 9
[name] => Hantverke
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[6] => Array
(
[id] => 10
[name] => Snickeri
[parent] => 9
[depth] => 2
)
[7] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[name] => Språk
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[8] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[name] => Tolk
[parent] => 12
[depth] => 2
)
[9] => Array
(
[id] => 15
[name] => Arabiska
[parent] => 13
[depth] => 3
)
[10] => Array
(
[id] => 14
[name] => Persiska
[parent] => 13
[depth] => 3
)
[11] => Array
(
[id] => 16
[name] => Polska
[parent] => 13
[depth] => 3
)
[12] => Array
(
[id] => 18
[name] => Apotekare
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[13] => Array
(
[id] => 19
[name] => Dotkorand
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[14] => Array
(
[id] => 21
[name] => Atomfysik
[parent] => 19
[depth] => 2
)
[15] => Array
(
[id] => 20
[name] => Fysik
[parent] => 19
[depth] => 2
)
[16] => Array
(
[id] => 22
[name] => Ekonom
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[17] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[name] => Industriell ekonomi
[parent] => 22
[depth] => 2
)
[18] => Array
(
[id] => 24
[name] => Filosofi
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
)
I want the array this way (after the sorting):
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Kompetenser
[parent] => 0
[depth] => 0
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Administration
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[name] => Arbetsledning
[parent] => 2
[depth] => 2
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 11
[name] => Organisation
[parent] => 2
[depth] => 2
)
[4] => Array
(
[id] => 17
[name] => Planering
[parent] => 2
[depth] => 2
)
[12] => Array
(
[id] => 18
[name] => Apotekare
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[13] => Array
(
[id] => 19
[name] => Dotkorand
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[14] => Array
(
[id] => 21
[name] => Atomfysik
[parent] => 19
[depth] => 2
)
[15] => Array
(
[id] => 20
[name] => Fysik
[parent] => 19
[depth] => 2
)
[16] => Array
(
[id] => 22
[name] => Ekonom
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[17] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[name] => Industriell ekonomi
[parent] => 22
[depth] => 2
)
[18] => Array
(
[id] => 24
[name] => Filosofi
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[5] => Array
(
[id] => 9
[name] => Hantverke
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[6] => Array
(
[id] => 10
[name] => Snickeri
[parent] => 9
[depth] => 2
)
[7] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[name] => Språk
[parent] => 1
[depth] => 1
)
[8] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[name] => Tolk
[parent] => 12
[depth] => 2
)
[9] => Array
(
[id] => 15
[name] => Arabiska
[parent] => 13
[depth] => 3
)
[10] => Array
(
[id] => 14
[name] => Persiska
[parent] => 13
[depth] => 3
)
[11] => Array
(
[id] => 16
[name] => Polska
[parent] => 13
[depth] => 3
)
)
These are my functions at the moment:
function tree_sorted()
{
//Get data
$query = 'SELECT node.id, node.name, node.parent, (COUNT(parent.name) - 1) AS depth FROM test_competence AS node, test_competence AS parent WHERE node.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt GROUP BY node.name ORDER BY node.lft';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
//Fetch gotten data
while($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$fetched[] = $data;
}
//Sort fetched data
uasort($fetched, 'cat_sort');
//Return merged data
return $fetched;
}
function cat_sort($a, $b)
{
if($a['name'] == $b['name'])
{
$return = 0;
}
elseif($a['name'] < $b['name'])
{
$return = -1;
}
else
{
$return = 1;
}
return $return;
}
I know that cat_sort() is ugly, it's just a temporary solution.
Right now they're just getting sorted by name, and not by parent. I want all posts with parent 2 directly after the post with id 2, and so on.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
