PHP/JSON array sorting by highest number - Riot API - php

Question

I am currently playing with Riot Games API and using one of the wrappers developed by the community (https://github.com/kevinohashi/php-riot-api). My issue is, I am trying to sort the results using arsort
My code example:
<?php
include('php-riot-api.php');
$summoner_name = 'fallingmoon';
$summoner_id = 24381045;
$test = new riotapi('euw');
$r = $test->getLeague($summoner_id);
?>
<?php
$array = json_decode($r, true);
foreach($array AS $key => $newArray) {
$tempArray[$key] = $newArray['entries'][0]['leaguePoints'];
}
arsort($tempArray);
$finalArray = array();
foreach($tempArray AS $key => $value) {
$finalArray[] = $array[$key];
}
?>
My goal is sort the array by league points (Highest to lowest), but the output of the array once I print it is as followed, as you can see it hasn't sorted. I am probably missing something very minor but any help will be greatly appreciated.

The issue is that $array is an array with one array in it.
Presumably you want to sort the entries array in which case you can tweak your code:
foreach($array[0]['entries'] AS $key => $team) {
$tempArray[$key] = $team['leaguePoints'];
}
arsort($tempArray);
$finalArray = array();
foreach($tempArray AS $key => $value) {
$finalArray[] = $array[0]['entries'][$key];
}
Note that the above doesn't support multiple leagues.
However I find using usort to be more readable:
foreach($array as $key => $league){
usort($array[$key]['entries'], function($a,$b){
return $a['leaguePoints'] - $b['leaguePoints'];
});
}
