Sort array of objects by date field

Question

How can I re-arrange a array of objects like this:

 [495] => stdClass Object
        (
         [date] => 2009-10-31 18:24:09
         ...
        )
 [         


        

Answer 1

usort($array, function($a, $b) {
    return strtotime($a['date']) - strtotime($b['date']);
});

Or if you don't have PHP 5.3:

function cb($a, $b) {
    return strtotime($a['date']) - strtotime($b['date']);
}
usort($array, 'cb');
