Ok. As far as I can tell from your example - you have a single
multidimensional array. From my reading of array_multisort
it looks like it is supposed to sort multiple arrays that happen
to be the same length, which is a little different.
Conceptually, what I think you have is an array of records which
you want to sort by one of the elements in the record. What I think
you want is "uasort", with something like:
function compare( $left, $right )
{
return ( $left[keycount] - $right[keycount] );
}
uasort( $result, "compare" );
