THANK YOU for the recommendation! It took 4 seconds to convert this
giant array to an SQLlite DB that could be queried in a heartbeat. You
just took this project from proof of concept to prototype.
My apologies to the list, I vaguely remember seeing that thread but

I tried to be a good developer and search the list before posting:
multidimensional array search turned up some posts from 2014 but most “sort

Indeed!

A recent thread has been going on about just this issue. The upshot is that one
pass through the array is obviously needed for the sqLite conversion, but after
that multiple queries can be done much more efficiently. I have code already

am missing? I'm working on an inventory system and trying to figure
out some more efficient methods.
Currently I'm taking a tab-delimited spreadsheet provided by the
client and converting it to an array, but there are curr
