How do you sort a 2-dimensional array? I'm stumped!

[Phil Powell]

$fbArray[$j] = array($feedbackCategoryArray[$i]['attributes']['NAME'] =>
$feedbackCategoryArray[$i]['attributes']['DISPLAYNAME']);

I can't begin to fathom in my befuddled mind how to sort this array $fbArray
into alphabetical order according to
$feedbackCategoryArray[$i]['attributes']['NAME'] - I am utterly lost, can
someone explain in detail how I would do it and why.

Thanx
Phil

Sorry that didn't work for me, not entirely. Although thanx for the ksort
suggestion, that was on the way!

This apparently works (after 3am frustration and trial-and-error):

function strrevcasecmp($a, $b) {
if (strcasecmp($a, $b) == 0) return 0;
return (strcasecmp($a, $b) > 0) ? -1 : 1;
}

@ksort($fbArray);
if (sizeof($fbArray) > 0) {
foreach ($fbArray as $key => $val) {
@uksort($val, "strrevcasecmp");
$fbArray[$key] = $val;
}
}

OK, I'm guessing that you haven't seen the info on array user sort
functions in the PHP manual at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php

Maybe your internet connection blocks you from accessing php.net, or
any mirrors, or from downloading a copy of the PHP manual from anywhere
else.

Try reading it - you'd be amazed at the information there!
