Question on array sorting in php
Posted by computerwiz3491, 01-17-2008, 05:10 PM I have the following array that I printed using print_r I need to be able to sort it by [pubDate] in highest to lowest order. How would I do this? Thanx
Posted by Codebird, 01-17-2008, 06:35 PM you can use your pubDate as Key and then ksort($item);
Posted by computerwiz3491, 01-17-2008, 09:33 PM It's a multi-dimensional array which has to stay in the same format.
Posted by foobic, 01-17-2008, 09:54 PM You still need to do as Hicham suggested: create an additional array keyed on pubDate containing the same objects. Ideally you do this at the same time as creating your original array; if not you'll have to iterate through the original, eg. using array_map.
Posted by bigfan, 01-17-2008, 10:19 PM Use array_multisort():That should work on the array as shown. (Although I think there's more to it than what you posted. If so adjust the keys for the values of $val assigned to $tmp as needed.)
