I have been trying to get an array to sort on a particular column and
have been having problems with my main key ...
array_multisort ($dirlist["dirname"], SORT_DESC, SORT_STRING);
This function takes an array ($dirlist) which has been loaded with a
directory listing where each directory has its own index number
("dirid") and displays the listing in descending order by name
("dirname"). This works fine for the sorting of the names but the index
number is reallocated (I assume because it is numeric) and I lose my
link to the directory. arrgghh!
How can I keep the rows 'together' and make sure that the index number
and the name remain consistant?
Any tips or snippets of syntax would be a great help.

I've never used array_multisort () and I don't want to dive into the docs
right now.
Do you really need array_multisort () ?

I have run into that problem before too. According to the manual
array_multisort () is supposed to maintain key association but in actual use
it changes the key. Use arsort() instead.

I had a look at arsort() but it seems to cover single dimension arrays.
Can I adapt it to work with a multi-dimension array?
Thanks for your help.

SNIP ... Do you really need array_multisort () ?
Yes, array_multisort () seems to be a 'pain in the bottom' ... it messes
up the key relationships. Arrgghh!

I would like to use your example but so far I can't get it to work. I am
not sure how 'callback' functions operate: In your example here do I
need to replace the word 'column' with the name of the column that I
want to sort on? (that's what I did).
And what are the parameters $lhs and $rhs (left hand side & right hand
side?). I don't need to change these, do I?
And how about descending order? I would just need to change '<' to '>',
wouldn't I?
Many thanks,

You don't need to change them. You may want to rename them to something
more coherent with your naming structure.
And how about descending order?
That particular 'cmp_function' already does a descending comparison.
The ascending way returns -1 when $lhs < $rhs

Hi Pedro,
Many thanks for your help.
At the moment the sort does not seem to have any effect on the sequence.
Is the resorted data written back to the same array? Or should I be
reading the data from a new array somewhere?
Here is a copy of my code ...
<html>
<head>
<title>Dir Sort</title>
</head>
<script language="php">
print("start<br >");
// Get a directory listing into dirlist ...
$i=1;
$dir = getcwd();
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (filetype($dir . "/" . $file)=="dir" AND $file != "." AND
$file != "..") {
// print("$file<br >");
$dirlist["dirid"][$i]=$i;
$dirlist["dirname"][$i]=$file;
$direxp=explode ("_",$file); // replace underscore with blanks here
$dirlist["dirstrip"][$i]=implode(" ",$direxp);
$dirlist["dirfull"][$i]=$dir . "/" . $file;
$i++;
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
// run the uasort ...
$success = uasort($dirlist , 'cmp_function') ;
// print("success " . $success);
// loop through the array and print the result ...
$j=1;
For ($j=1; $j<=$i - 1; $j++) {
print($dirlist["dirid"][$j] . "/" . $dirlist["dirstrip"][$j] . "/"
.. $dirlist["dirname"][$j] . "<br>");
}
// callback function (dirstrip is the column to sort on) ...
function cmp_function($l hs, $rhs) {
if ($lhs['dirstrip'] < $rhs['dirstrip']) return 1;
return ($lhs['dirstrip'] == $rhs['dirstrip']) ? 0 : -1;
}
?>
</script>
</body>
</html>

Aha! :)
IMHO you're building the array the wrong way around.
This way to do it, will not work with uasort() ... maybe
array_multisort (), I don't know.
If you do
$dirlist[$i]['dirid'] = $i;
$dirlist[$i]['dirname'] = $file;
// ...
instead, uasort() will work correctly (of course you'll have to change
your code to reflect the change in the array).
$i++; } } closedir($dh); }
// run the uasort ... $success = uasort($dirlist , 'cmp_function') ; // print("success " . $success);
// loop through the array and print the result ... $j=1; For ($j=1; $j<=$i - 1; $j++) {
I prefer a foreach() loop, but this also works.
print($dirlist["dirid"][$j] . "/" . $dirlist["dirstrip"][$j] . "/" . $dirlist["dirname"][$j] . "<br>"); }
(snip)
Your $dirlist array has 4 elements (their keys are "dirid", "dirname",
....). Each of these elements is itself another array with as many
elements as there are files in the directory.
If you change the way you build the array you get an array with as many
elements as there are files in the directory, in which every element is
itself another array with keys "dirid", ...

Hi Pedro,
I had adapted my code (and reduced it a lot) but the sorting still
doesn't work. uasort seems to run successfully but the array still has
the old sort sequence.
I even tried adding 'x' to 'dirid' so that it was no longer a numeric.
Maybe you could take another quick look?
Many thanks,
Alan.
