there's really no good way to sort a multidimensional array for one reason.
CF represents a N dimensional array (internally) as an array of arrays.
there's no "scalar" (sortable) value posessed by an array "object", so one
cannot sort by it. perhaps if you told us what you're trying to do, we can
help you out.

I've created a 2 dimensional array and wish to sort it by one of the =
"columns" in that array. I've tried arraysort() function but that =
doesn't keep the data together. It sorts only 1 dimension of the array =
and leaves the rest alone. Is there any way to sort an array in the =
same way you use a sql ORDER BY clause where all the "rows" in the array =
remain intact but change order? Or is there a way to do this using =
programmatically created queries?
