<div>
hi... &nbsp;PHP's array_multisort should help<br />
<br />
ex:<br />
<br />
array_multisort ($main[&quot;lname&quot;], SORT_STRING, SORT_DESC, $main[&quot;fname&quot;]);<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: If you have more columns, list them at the end.

Yikes! &nbsp;I forgot to mention that I'm only able to use PHP3, not PHP4, so array_multisort won't work for me. &nbsp;Is there any PHP3 equivalent?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a multi-dimensional array of the following type:<br />
<br />
$main['fname'][1] = &quot;Bob&quot;<br />
$main['lname'][1] = &quot;Dole&quot;<br />
$main['fname'][2] = &quot;Bill&quot;<br />
$main['lname'][2] = &quot;Clinton&quot;<br />
$main['fname'][3] = &quot;George&quot;<br />
$main['lname'][3] = &quot;Bush&quot;<br />
<br />
I'd like to sort the array values alphabetically by last name ('lname') such that the return values will be:<br />
<br />
$main['fname'][1] = &quot;George&quot;<br />
$main['lname'][1] = &quot;Bush&quot;<br />
$main['fname'][2] = &quot;Bill&quot;<br />
$main['lname'][2] = &quot;Clinton&quot;<br />
$main['fname'][3] = &quot;Bob&quot;<br />
$main['lname'][3] = &quot;Dole&quot;<br />
<br />
Can anyone suggest a way to do this?<br />

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
