Ordering LDAP Output ?

jexx

I'm trying to 'echo' the output from my LDAP search so it shows in the order I want, not what the LDAP outputs.

This is a clip of my code:
$sector and $key are passed to the query..

      $dn = "cn=Unit";
       $filter="(&(objectclass=*)(|(|(|(id=$sector[$key])(id=$sector2[$key])(id=$sector3[$key])(id=$sector4[$key])))))";
       $justthese = array('cn','id');
       $sr=ldap_search($ds, $dn, $filter, $justthese);
      $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
              for ($n=0; $n<$info['count']; $n++) {
                         $usr = $info[$n]['cn'][0];
                  $id = $info[$n]['id'][0];

         if ($id==$sector[$key]) $dist="Sector ";
         if ($id==$sector2[$key]) $dist="Sector 2 ";
  if ($id==$sector3[$key]) $dist="Sector 3";
  if ($id==$sector4[$key]) $dist="Sector 4";

              echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" .$dist . "&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;" .$usr ."<br>";             
         }

The output can show as:

Sector - UserName
Sector3 - UserName
Sector4 - UserName
Sector2 - UserName
OR

Sector - UserName
Sector4- UserName
Sector3 - UserName
Sector2 - UserName[/QUOTE]
Instead of :

Sector - UserName
Sector2 - UserName
Sector3 - UserName
Sector4 - UserName

So how do I 'echo' my output to show in the order I choose ???

Thanks

Can't you just read them into an array and then sort the array?
