Sort an Array by keys based on another Array?

Question

Is it possible in PHP to do something like this? How would you go about writing a function? Here is an example. The order is the most important thing.

$custo         


        

Answer 1

This function return a sub and sorted array based in second parameter $keys

function array_sub_sort(array $values, array $keys){
    $keys = array_flip($keys);
    return array_merge(array_intersect_key($keys, $values), array_intersect_key($values, $keys));
}

Example:

$array_complete = [
    'a' => 1,
    'c' => 3,
    'd' => 4,
    'e' => 5,
    'b' => 2
];

$array_sub_sorted = array_sub_sort($array_complete, ['a', 'b', 'c']);//return ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3];
