How do I sort a PHP array by an element nested inside?

Question

I have an array like the following:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            \'name\' => \"Friday\"
            \'weight\' => 6
        )
    [1] => Array

Here's a cool function that might help:

function subval_sort($a,$subkey,$sort) {
    foreach($a as $k=>$v) {
        $b[$k] = strtolower($v[$subkey]);
    }
    if($b)
    {
        $sort($b);
        foreach($b as $key=>$val) {
            $c[] = $a[$key];
        }
        return $c;
    }
}

Send in the array as $a the key as $subkey and 'asort' or 'sort' for the $sort variable
