Usort Feeds By Relevance

59 New Member
Hi
I Am using Simplepie to display some rss feeds, currently it displays them in date and time order but i want it to display them in relevance order by using a usort function.
here is the code for the page

[PHP]<?php
/************************************************** ******************
MULTIFEEDS TEST PAGE

Nothing too exciting here. Just a sample page that demos integrated
Multifeeds support as well as cached favicons and perhaps a few other
things.

Lots of this code is commented to help explain some of the new stuff.
Code was tested in PHP 5.2.2, but *should* also work with earlier
versions of PHP, as supported by SimplePie (PHP 4.1).

************************************************** ******************/

// Include the SimplePie library, and the one that handles internationalized domain names.
require_once('../simplepie.inc');
require_once('../idn/idna_convert.class.php');

// Initialize some feeds for use.
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url(array(
'http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories',
'http://news.google.com/?output=atom',
'http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss'
));

// When we set these, we need to make sure that the handler_image.php file is also trying to read from the same cache directory that we are.
$feed->set_favicon_handler('./handler_image.php');
$feed->set_image_handler('./handler_image.php');

// Initialize the feed.
$feed->init();



// Make sure the page is being served with the UTF-8 headers.
$feed->handle_content_type();



// Begin the (X)HTML page.

<!-- get_content() prefers full content over summaries -->
<?php echo $item->get_content(); ?>

<?php if ($enclosure = $item->get_enclosure()): ?>
<div>
<?php echo $enclosure->native_embed(array(
// New 'mediaplayer' attribute shows off Flash-based MP3 and FLV playback.
'mediaplayer' => '../demo/for_the_demo/mediaplayer.swf'

</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<p class="footnote">Source: <a href="<?php echo $feed->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $feed->get_title(); ?></a> | <?php echo $item->get_date('j M Y | g:i a'); ?></p>
</div>

<?php endforeach ?>

<p class="footnote">This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test&hellip; beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!</p>

</div>
</body>
</html>[/PHP]
This is the sort of usort i will use

[PHP]usort($feed,'funnySort');

function funnySort($a,$b)
{
// assign numerical value so we can sort on
// whether "term" is in title or content or neither

$term = 'funny';

$x = 0;
if (stripos($a->get_title(),$term))
$x = 2;
elseif (stripos($a->get_content(),$term))
$x = 1;

$y = 0;
if (stripos($b->get_title(),$term))
$y = 2;
elseif (stripos($b->get_content(),$term))
$y = 1;

return $x <= $y
} [/PHP]
How can i make this work together so that it displays the most relevant posts first?

Thanks
