Sort array by object property in PHP?

Question

If I have an object as such:

class Person {
  var $age;
  function __construct($age) {
    $this->age = $age;
  }
}

and I have any array

Answer 1

For that specific scenario, you can sort it using the usort() function, where you define your own function to compare the items in the array.

age = $age;
  }
}

function personSort( $a, $b ) {
    return $a->age == $b->age ? 0 : ( $a->age > $b->age ) ? 1 : -1;
}

$person1 = new Person(14);
$person2 = new Person(5);
$person3 = new Person(32);
$person4 = new Person(150);
$person5 = new Person(39);
$people = array($person1, $person2, $person3, $person4, $person5);

print_r( $people );

usort( $people, 'personSort' );

print_r( $people );
