how to sort array based on value using php codeigniter in the fastest way?

Question

I'm trying to arrange an array based on the value of the elements. Anyway here are my array code:

array (
    [0] => array (
        [id] => 5
        [title] => yesyes3
        [msg] => yes yes yes yes
        [date] => 2016-06-05
        [match] => 1
    )
    [1] => array (
        [id] => 4
        [title] => yes2
        [msg] => yes yes yes
        [date] => 2016-06-04
        [match] => 4
    )
    [2] => array (
        [id] => 1
        [title] => test1
        [msg] => yes
        [date] => 2016-06-01
        [match] => 2
    )
    [3] => array (
        [id] => 3
        [title] => test2
        [msg] => no
        [date] => 2016-06-03
        [match] => 1
    )
    [4] => array (
        [id] => 2
        [title] => yes1
        [msg] => no
        [date] => 2016-06-02
        [match] => 6
    )
)

is there any way for me to arrange them based on match and will look like this?

array (
    [0] => array (
        [id] => 2
        [title] => yes1
        [msg] => no
        [date] => 2016-06-02
        [match] => 6
    )
    [1] => array (
        [id] => 4
        [title] => yes2
        [msg] => yes yes yes
        [date] => 2016-06-04
        [match] => 4
    )
    [2] => array (
        [id] => 1
        [title] => test1
        [msg] => yes
        [date] => 2016-06-01
        [match] => 2
    )
    [3] => array (
        [id] => 3
        [title] => test2
        [msg] => no
        [date] => 2016-06-03
        [match] => 1
    )
    [4] => array (
        [id] => 5
        [title] => yesyes3
        [msg] => yes yes yes yes
        [date] => 2016-06-05
        [match] => 1
    )
)

Is there any php codeigniter code for this? feel free to check my code here https://eval.in/599473

use usort() to order array by `match` – splash58 Jul 02 '16 at 10:22 — splash58, Jul 02 '16 at 10:22

You can achieve your goal using plain PHP code:

usort($array, function ($one, $two) {
    if ($one['match'] === $two['match']) {
        return 0;
    }
    return $one['match'] > $two['match'] ? -1 : 1;
});

Reference: usort

just `return $one['match'] - $two['match'];` will work – splash58 Jul 02 '16 at 10:33

awesome but doing that would display a ascending order @splash58 – howardtyler Jul 02 '16 at 10:55

it means `return $two['match'] - $one['match'];` :) – splash58 Jul 02 '16 at 11:43
