Yes the example sent by Kurt Yoder worked for me. I coudn't work out the errors with the class you sent me. I realised it was written for PHP5 in mind ?... or maybe I wasn't patient enough to spent time debugging it :-(

Thanks jochem, I had a second look at it and I figured it out. I had problem implementing it with a class but now I have figured how to use it.This won't work for me as I have 500+ records to sort based on the score key.. looking at jochem's class now. Thanks
which wont help much - assuming what you say is true (why wont it work? have you tried it).
sort method from the class:
function sort() { if(count($this->sortKeys)) { usort($this->dataArray, array($this,"_sortcmp")); } }
cheers, Jeffery
ok, does that mean using usort() on your array works? my class is just a
fancy wrapper around usort - and ofcourse it allows you to sort on more than
1 'column' in the second dimension of the array (kind of like a multi-column
sort in an SQL statement). -- the point being that the usort() example Kurt
(I think that was his name) sent would work also.
anyway glad you could use it. :-)
....
/**
* This function is to sort a multi-dimentional array. This is a call-back function.
* Replace the value of $this->mArraySortKey with the appropriate key
* before calling the call-back function
*/
function sort_array($x, $y)
{
if ( $x[$this->mArraySortKey] == $y[$this->mArraySortKey] )
return 0;
else if ( $x[$this->mArraySortKey] < $y[$this->mArraySortKey] )
return 1;
else
return -1;
}
and within my class I am calling the following two lines:
// Sort the array $this->mArraySortKey = 'score'; usort($this->mSearchData, array(& $this, 'sort_array'));
