How do I Sort a Multidimensional Array in PHP [duplicate]

Answer 1

Before I could get the TableSorter class to run I had came up with a function based on what Shinhan had provided.

function sort2d_bycolumn($array, $column, $method, $has_header)
  {
  if ($has_header)  $header = array_shift($array);
  foreach ($array as $key => $row) {
    $narray[$key]  = $row[$column]; 
    }
  array_multisort($narray, $method, $array);
  if ($has_header) array_unshift($array, $header);
  return $array;
  }

• $array is the MD Array you want to sort.
• $column is the column you wish to sort by.
• $method is how you want the sort performed, such as SORT_DESC
• $has_header is set to true if the first row contains header values that you don't want sorted.
