character):
Array(
0 = '2h'
1 = '1d'
2 = '2w'

And I need to sort them according to their letter. If I wasn't using
classes, I could just use usort($array, 'custom_sort') but when I do
that within my class, I'm told it can't find the function. I've tried
usort($array, $this::custom_sort) and usort($array,
$Gantt_Task::custom_sort), both of which throw up the rather frightening
unexpected double colon error (if you've ever seen one you'll know what
I'm on about!)
Does anyone know how I can do a usort within a class without resorting
to making my sorting function a global function that isn't part of the
class? I'd rather keep this tidy and everything in the class that needs
to be in it, so a random function sitting outside is something I want to
avoid if possible.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a better way than using usort I'm all
ears!

Try using an array to pass in the function:
usort($array, array('ClassName', 'staticMethodName'));

Thanks! I literally just found that answer as your reply came through.
It's a bit of a facepalm moment here right now, as I'm ashamed to say
that the answer was on the manual pages all along, which I'd failed to
read properly :-/
