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

I do not advice my solution in your example because it would be ugly (And I have not benchmarked it), but it works.... And depending of the need, it may help. :)

class Person
{
  public $age;

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

  public function __toString()
  {
    return $this->age;
  }
}

$person1 = new Person(14);
$person2 = new Person(5);

$persons = array($person1, $person2);
asort($persons);
