PHP Sorting Multidimensional Associative Array by Key and Value - php

Question

I'm trying to sort the following data by the date in the key and the value of Name.
The aim is to a get nice date ordered array with all the Names from the inner array in alphabetical order.
Array
(
[2017-07-27] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[Name] => Orange
)
)
[4] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[Name] => Apple
)
)
)
[2017-07-22] => Array
(
[6] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[Name] => Apple
)
)
[7] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[Name] => Orange
)
)
)
[2017-07-29] => Array
(
[9] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[Name] => Orange
)
)
[11] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[Name] => Plumb
)
)
)
)
I'm pretty sure I should be using array_multisort but can't quite get the desired results.

Answer 1

You must split the code if you want to order on object properties, use the usort function.
Where $arr is your array:
uksort($arr, 'dateCmp');
foreach($arr as &$sub){
usort($sub, 'propCmp');
}
function dateCmp($a, $b){
return (strtotime($a) < strtotime($b) ? -1 : 1);
}
function propCmp($a, $b){
return ($a->Job->Name < $b->Job->Name ? -1 : 1);
}

Please try below code,
$sorted_vals = array();
ksort($multiArrs);
foreach($multiArrs as $key => $value) { // $multiArrs = your data array
$columns = null;
foreach ($value as $index => $element) {
$columns[] = $element->Job;
}
$temp = $value;
array_multisort($columns, SORT_ASC, $temp);
$sorted_vals[$key] = $temp;
}
