RE: sorting in array

["Peter Lauri" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And this for DESCending

   function cmpcountry($a, $b)
   {
         $country1 = $a['country'];
         $country2 = $b['country'];

		if($country1=='' OR $country2=='') {
			if($country1==$country2) return 0;
			elseif($country1=='') return 1;
			else return -1;
		} else return ($country1 < $country2) ? 1 : -1;
   }
