Ordering by JSON - php

Question

We are importing our JSON from an API. The JSON is pulling through fine but unordered
We want to order the JSON file by the name field, We have used uasort but it does not seem to take effect?
$url="https://dev-api.ourwebsite.com";
$ch = curl_init();
// Disable SSL verification
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
// Will return the response, if false it print the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Set the url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
// Execute
$result=curl_exec($ch);
// DUMPING THE JSON
$json=json_decode($result, true);
uasort($json, 'name');
foreach($json as $value) {
$course_name=$value["name"];
}

Answer 1

usort() (or uasort() if you need to keep the keys of the array) is what you need:
<?php
// mocking some data
$json = [
["name" => "paul"],
["name" => "jeff"],
["name" => "anna"]
];
uasort($json,
// this callable needs to return 1 or -1, depending on how you want it to sort
function($a, $b) {
if($a['name']>$b['name']) {
return 1;
} else {
return -1;
}
});
var_dump($json);
foreach($json as $value) {
$course_name=$value["name"];
echo $course_name."<br>";
}
// output:
array(3) {
[2]=>
array(1) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "anna"
}
[1]=>
array(1) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "jeff"
}
[0]=>
array(1) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "paul"
}
}
anna
jeff
paul
