How do I sort the following array?

Question

I have this array:

  Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [id] => 6347
        [lat] => 18.520430
        [lng] => 73.856743
        [country_id] =         


        

Answer 1

Use the SET class in cake

$result = Set::sort($yourArray, '{n}.avgRate', 'desc');

Answer 2

Take a look at usort function.

Just define a function (in the manual as "cmp") for sorting and use it as callback:

function my_sorting_function($a, $b)
{
    return $a["avgRate"]>$b["avgrate"]?1:-1;
}

and then call it

usort($my_array_variable,"my_sorting_function");

Answer 3

Try this : Using array_multisort

$sort = array();
foreach($your_array as $k=>$v) {
    $sort['avgRate'][$k] = $v['avgRate'];
}

array_multisort($sort['avgRate'], SORT_DESC, $your_array);


echo "<pre>";
print_r($your_array);
