Multi-dem array sort
Posted on 2006-07-20
Multi-demension arrays always get me... I need help sorting this array two ways.
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[timestamp] => 1153408578
)
[2] => Array
(
[timestamp] => 1153408589
)
[3] => Array
(
[timestamp] => 1153408592
)
[2.txt] => Array
(
[timestamp] => 1153408593
)
[3.txt] => Array
(
[timestamp] => 1153408593
)
)
#1 : I would like to sort the array by the key, maintaining the inside array. I tried ksort, but it did not appear to work.
#2 : I would like to sort the array the array but the timestamp, maintaining the associations.
Thanks

Can you show what you tried for #1, what it produced, and what you wanted instead?
For #2, we'll extract the timestamps in order, and then pass that as the first parameter to array_multisort, and your multi-d array as the second..
$reference = array();
foreach ($yourArray as $row)
$reference[] = $row['timestamp'];
array_multisort($reference

this array has been ksort($array) 'ed
notice how it is out of order (the keys). the 1 is at the bottom and the 1.txt is at the top... ?

that is normal ksort behaviour, 1.txt comes before 1
and 1. comes before 1.txt
no idea why, something do with how ksort works..
and 1. comes before 1.txt

why are we here?
is there a god?
why dont you ask the guy who wrote ksort.
it seems a string 'a' will come before a string '1'
but an integer 1 will come before a string 'a'
