How can I sort an array like this so that it would be ASC ordered
by the [1] key in subarrays? I need to maintain only the subarray
key - value pairs. (Do I make sense?)
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Logo
            [1] => NameC
            [2] => Home
            [3] => url
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Logo
            [1] => NameA
            [2] => Home
            [3] => url
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Logo
            [1] => NameG
            [2] => Home
            [3] => url
        )
}
http://www.php.net/usort

I think usort would be a bit overkill, he would probably find himself
making a function to sort and maintain the association between the
subarrays. Go with array_multisort, it would be a one-liner.

What total tosh!  array_multisort() won't handle this one -- usort() is correct.  The only function needed is a (one-liner!) custom comparison to compare individual [1] elements -- usort() takes care of all the rest:

   function compare_1($a, $b) { return strcmp($a[1], $b[1]); }

   usort($array, 'compare_1');

Or even, for single use, collapse it to:

   usort($array, create_function('$a,$b', 'return strcmp($a[1], $b[1]);');

Cheers!
