I think I found a variant of this under the usort function:
$sorted_array = arfsort($array,'count');
or
$sorted_array = arfsort($array,array('count')); // can pass secondary
sort field in the 2nd param..
to get descending:
$sorted_array = array_reverse(arfsort($array,array('count')));
//arfsort() - (AR)ray (F)ield Sort.
//Sort a multi-dimensional array according to a list of fields.
//preserves keys
function arfsort( $array, $fields ) {
debug('<B>arfsort(</B><B>)</B> [1.00 - 2005/05/26]');
if ( !is_array($fields) )
$fields = array($fields);
$GLOBALS['__ARFSORT_LIST__'] = $fields;
uasort( $array, 'arfsort_func' );
unset($GLOBALS['__ARFSORT_LIST__']);
return $array;
}
//Internal sorting function for arfsort()
function arfsort_func( $a1, $a2 ) {
foreach( $GLOBALS['__ARFSORT_LIST__'] as $f ) {
if ( isset($a1[$f]) && isset($a2[$f]) ) {
$strc = strnatcasecmp( $a1[$f], $a2[$f] );
return $strc;
}
}
return 0;
}
