laravel sort an array by date

Question

hello friends I have an array that looks like this:

array:3 [▼
  0 => array:6 [▼
    \"date\" => \"2016-05-31 15:08:33\"
    0 => \"31 May 16\"
             


        

Answer 1

You can use this solution to get the result:

collect($yourArray)->sortBy('Key')->values();

Answer 2

You can convert to a collection, call the sortBy() and the convert back to an array all on one line.

$sortedArr = collect($array)->sortBy('date')->all();

Answer 3

you have to create your own function

array_sort_by_column($array, 'date');


function array_sort_by_column(&$array, $column, $direction = SORT_ASC) {
    $reference_array = array();

    foreach($array as $key => $row) {
        $reference_array[$key] = $row[$column];
    }

    array_multisort($reference_array, $direction, $array);
}

Answer 4

You can use usort() with custom comarison function.

function sortByDate($arr1, $arr2)
{
    $tmp1 = strtotime($arr1['date']);
    $tmp2 = strtotime($arr2['date']);
    return $tmp1 - $tmp2;
}
usort($array, 'date');
