Sorting Multi Dimensional Array.

[nothing1]

I've been getting better at arrays but I got stumped. Ok pretty much I have an array as such.

[PHP]$row[0]
[0] =>why
[1] =>boo
[2] =>120

$row[1]
[0] =>etc
[1] =>hello
[2] =>12

$row[2]
[0] =>straw
[1] =>grape
[2] =>20

$row[3]
[0] =>apple
[1] =>orange
[2] =>30[/PHP]

so im using this:
[PHP]function cmp($a, $b)
{
return strcmp($a[2], $b[2]);
}

usort($row, "cmp");

while (list($key, $value) = each($row)) {
echo "\$row[$key]: " . $value[2] . "\n";
}
[/PHP]

and it semiworks, i think. except I get something like.
[PHP]

$row[0]
[0] =>etc
[1] =>hello
[2] =>12

$row[1]
[0] =>why
[1] =>boo
[2] =>120

$row[2]
[0] =>straw
[1] =>grape
[2] =>20

$row[3]
[0] =>apple
[1] =>orange
[2] =>30[/PHP]

When obviously I want something more like natsort, i think. pretty much:
[PHP]

$row[0]
[0] =>etc
[1] =>hello
[2] =>12

$row[1]
[0] =>straw
[1] =>grape
[2] =>20

$row[2]
[0] =>apple
[1] =>orange
[2] =>30

$row[3]
[0] =>why
[1] =>boo
[2] =>120[/PHP]

Any help plz?

There are at least 2 ways sorting multidimentional array. Try to implement those solutions by yourself or ask questions according to the code.

Wow! that worked beautifully thanx for the reference.

You are welcome.
php.net is the site number one for php programmers.

Really?!
This is news to me!

TheScripts is where it's at :P

Useful link, thanks for that satas.

So at the Scripts they can show you the relevant chapters in the PHP documentation!

Would you be so kind to explain me what does this means?

I guess i get it :)

Well, i don't agree. When you have php-related query, first of all you should have a look at the documentation (php.net in that case) And after that ask community questions. As for me it sounds like "Argh, it is so boring to spend hours reading the manual, writing the code... maybe someone could do it instead of me?" Wrong way, i think.

People will do what they do and normally that's not to get sidetracked in reading but to get fist deep in practical.

Plus, if people read the manual, what help would i be?

Manual was written by people and for people.
You'll become good programmer as fast as you'll start thinking about the problem, not asking someone to solve it.

Don't know who the author, but i like it :
'Ever tried? Ever failed? Try again. Fail again. Fail better'

Really? I thought it was aliens!

A lot of people just start programming by downloading some code, trying to change it and, when it does not go the way they want it, come to this forum. They just lack the necessary theory and general knowledge. That is why I point a lot of people to the standard public documentation for PHP and MySQL.
