Sort multidimensional array in PHP

Question

I have a multidimensional array, fetched from an SQL query. It looks like this:

$CIKK[$j]["vonalkod"]
$CIKK[$j]["kiadva"]
$CIKK[$j]["nev"]
$CIKK[$j]["hatarido"]

Can I sort $CIKK based on the value of its ["vonalkod"]?

Yes you can, look at the usort() or array_multisort() functions — Mark Baker, Sep 01 '14 at 09:09

Because I use 2 SQL queries to fill up $CIKK. Also, one of these has multiple INNER JOINs. — Balázs Varga, Sep 01 '14 at 09:35

you use this function

function sort_multi($array, $column, $method) {
    foreach ($array as $key => $row) {
        $narray[$key] = $row[$column];
    }
    array_multisort($narray, $method, $array);
    return $array;
}

$myarray = sort_multi($CIKK , 'vonalkod' , SORT_DESC)

i'm using array_multisort in http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php

the $method will take SORT_DESC or SORT_ASC
