[PHP] Best way to sort a multidimentional array....
Hello,
I need to manipulate, the following data in a number of diffierent ways
(specifics follow).
Telephone extension number - 4 digits in the range 2000-2119
Total time on phone - seconds integer values
Total No. of calls - integer value
Name - A persons name
I'm purposely NOT using a database table for this data.
I'm storing the data in a multidemensional array, the stucture of which
is below, and I need to sort it by Total Time On Phone in decending
order, which is the first element of the 'embedded' array. I have got
an idea of how to write a function to do this, I'm sure I can get it too
work. But I figured someone must have had to do something like this b4
and so was after any advice/code and/or a more elegant way of achieving
what I what?
Any ideas/comments would be well recieved.
Thanks A lot
Best Wishes
Roland Tarver

Use usort() with a callback that compares the 'Total Time On Phone'
elements. Something like:
function compTime($a, $b) {
return $a[0]==$b[0]?0:($a[0]$b[0]?1:-1);
}
usort($telData, 'compTime');
Cheers!
