I would right down the array positions for before and after and try to find the pattern you are looking for. It should be some combination or rows, columns and array size (addition, subtraction, multiplicaiton, division, absolute values, etc.). If you can't find the pattern, you can't write a generic conversion function and neither can PHP or anybody.
Your first row maps like this (row,col): 0,0 -> 2,0 0,1 -> 1,1 0,2 -> 0,2
This formula would map the first row appropriately: row = ColCount - ColNum col = ColNum
It obviously fails for your second row, but it's just an example.
There is obviously a pattern which the mind can interpret fairly quickly. But trying to describe it in exact terms can be difficult.

Is there a way to easily rotate array data?
what I want to do is change from
bob | bill | frank joe | jose | sam sally | jim | kim
to | | | frank| | | | |bill | | sam| | |bob| | jose | | kim| | |joe| |jim | | | | | sally | | |
is there an easy way to do this?
the data and arraysize will vary so I was looking for a way that I could
have php do it without having to make script for different array sizes.
Thanks
