Closed 4 years ago.
I have an array like this, how can I sort by "name"
Array (
[0] => Array (
[id] => 1
[name] => status_category_confide
)
[1] => Array (
[id] => 2
[name] => status_category_love
)
[2] => Array (
[id] => 3
[name] => status_category_household
)
[3] => Array (
[id] => 4
[name] => status_category_family
)
[4] => Array (
[id] => 5
[name] => status_category_friends
)
[5] => Array (
[id] => 6
[name] => status_category_colleague
)
[6] => Array (
[id] => 7
[name] => status_category_work
)
[7] => Array (
[id] => 8
[name] => status_category_ambition
)
)
I've tried using the "sort" function but it doesn't work
$get_status_mood=mysqli_query($con, "select id, name from category");
while ($gsm=mysqli_fetch_array($get_status_mood)) {
//array_push($status_category, constant($gsm['name']));
$status_category[] = array(
"id"=>$gsm['id'],
"name"=>$gsm['name']
);
}
sort($status_category);
for ($i=0; $i<count($status_category); $i++) {
echo"<option value='".$status_category[$i]['id']."'>".$status_category[$i]['name']."</option>";
}
I want to display the results in the order of the name

Answer 1

Try the SQL order by option
$get_status_mood=mysqli_query($con, "select id, name from category order by name asc");

Answer 2

You can sort it using array_column and array_multisort functions.
$keys = array_column($array, 'name');
array_multisort($keys, SORT_ASC, $array);

Answer 3

You can try it with usort this sort an array by values using a user-defined comparison function
function cmp($a, $b)
{
return strcmp($a["name"], $b["name"]);
}
usort($vc_array, "cmp");

Answer 4

$a = array();
$a[] = array('id' => 1, 'name' => 'status_category_confide');
$a[] = array('id' => 2, 'name' => 'status_category_love');
$a[] = array('id' => 3, 'name' => 'status_category_household');
function cmp($x, $y) {
if (strcmp($x['name'], $y['name']) == 0) {
return 0;
}
return (strcmp($x['name'], $y['name']) < 0) ? -1 : 1;
}
usort($a, "cmp");
print_r($a);
