Regarding sorting, generally we sort through the database or nosql (eg: redis) and then output it to the program for direct use. However, sometimes we need to sort the array directly through PHP and store the data in PHP. The most used ones are objects and arrays, but the ones that are processed the most are arrays, because there are very rich built-in function libraries (in fact, objects can also be understood as arrays to a certain extent). These function libraries can largely help us achieve certain features. Commonly used system functions include sort, asort, arsort, ksort, krsort, etc. Here I mainly talk about the two methods of sorting two-dimensional arrays:
1. Use PHP’s own array_multisort function to sort
$data = array();
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'edition' => 2);
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'edition' => 1);
$data[] = array('volume' => 85, 'edition' => 6);
$data[] = array ('volume' => 98, 'edition' => 2);
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'edition' => 6);
$data [] = array('volume' => 67, 'edition' => 7);
// Get the list of columns
foreach ($data as $key => $row)
{
$volume[$key] = $row['volume'];
$edition[$key] = $row['edition'];
}
array_multisort($volume, SORT_DESC, $edition, SORT_ASC, $data);
print_r($data);
?>
Output result:
// 取得列的列表
foreach ($data as $key => $row)
{
$volume[$key] = $row['volume'];
$edition[$key] = $row['edition'];
}
$ret = arraySort($data, 'volume', 'desc');
print_r($ret);
/**
* @desc arraySort php two-dimensional array sorting sorts the array according to the specified key
* @param array $arr The array to be sorted
* @param string $keys Specifies the sorting key
* @param string $type Sorting type asc | desc
* @return array
*/
function arraySort($arr, $keys, $type = 'asc') {
$keysvalue = $new_array = array();
foreach ($arr as $k => $v){
$keysvalue[$k] = $v[$keys];
}
$type == 'asc' ? asort($keysvalue) : arsort($keysvalue);
reset($keysvalue);
foreach ($keysvalue as $k => $v) {
$new_array[$k] = $arr[$k];
}
return $new_array;
}
?>
[4] => Array
(
[volume] => 86
[edition] => 6
)
[1] => Array
(
[volume] => 86
[edition] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[volume] => 85
[edition] => 6
)
[5] => Array
(
[volume] => 67
[edition] => 7
)
[0] => Array
(
[volume] => 67
[edition] => 2
)
)
One difference between this custom function and the system function is that the custom function only supports sorting for a certain key. If you want to support sorting for multiple keys, you need to execute it multiple times; while the system function array_multisort can sort multiple keys at once. key and can specify multiple sorting rules. The system function is quite powerful. It is recommended to use the system function. After all, it is implemented at the bottom of C. Here is just an example to illustrate how to sort the array through a custom function. Of course, this custom function can also be used. Continue to expand to support more collations. It is still used a lot in scenarios such as rankings, leaderboards, and results.
3. Custom function sorting 2
The following function sorts a given two-dimensional array according to the specified key value. Let’s look at the function definition first:
$ShoppingList = array_sort($array,'price');
print_r($ShoppingList);
