Read the php manual for `usort()` and you will figure it out how to change it that it works for you :D If not show us your attempts and where you are stuck and what you don't understand — Rizier123, Feb 22 '15 at 08:07

Try this:

usort($post_result, function($a, $b) {
    if($a['percentage']==$b['percentage']) return 0;
    return $a['percentage'] < $b['percentage']?1:-1;
});
