Re: [PHP-DB] Sorting a 2 dimension array
Is ksort() what you're looking for? Sorts an array by key, maintaining key to data correlations.

RE: [PHP-DB] Sorting a 2 dimension array
although i've never used it, sounds like you would need to use the uasort() function, and write a custom comparison function - tho don't ask me how to do that :P HTH Beau // -Original Message- // From: John Clarke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Friday, 5 October 2001 4:01 PM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: [PHP-DB] Sorting a 2 dimension array // // // I would like to sort a 2 dimensional array based on the // value of one of the // keys of each element. // // I have an array returned from a msql query which contains 10 // records/elements and each record 5 fields/keys. // I would like to sort the records based on the value of a // particular field in // each record. // // Is this possible.?

Hi, Why don't you sort the query to MYSQL and have the records delivered in the order you want them?
