Question

Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [dateTime] => 2011-10-18 0:0:00
                    [chanl1] => 20.7
                 


        

Answer 1

Using uasort() with a custom sort callback should do it:

function cmp($a, $b) {
  if ($a['dateTime'] == $b['dateTime']) {
    return 0;
  }

  return ($a['dateTime'] < $b['dateTime']) ? -1 : 1;
}

uasort($arr, 'cmp');

uasort() preserves your array's keys, you can use usort() instead if you don't need that to happen.
