Sort Object in PHP

Question

What is an elegant way to sort objects in PHP? I would love to accomplish something similar to this.

$sortedObjectArary = sort($unsortedObjectArray, $Object-         


        

Answer 1

Depending on the problem you are trying to solve, you may also find the SPL interfaces useful. For example, implementing the ArrayAccess interface would allow you to access your class like an array. Also, implementing the SeekableIterator interface would let you loop through your object just like an array. This way you could sort your object just as if it were a simple array, having full control over the values it returns for a given key.
