php tutorial array_multisort() function detailed explanation

Function bool array_multisort ( array &$arr [, mixed $arg = SORT_ASC [, mixed $arg = SORT_REGULAR [, mixed $...]]] )

Parameter description: The function sorts multiple arrays or multi-dimensional arrays

The first parameter is an array, and each subsequent parameter may be an array or the following sort order flag

SORT_ASC - Default, sort in ascending order

SORT_DESC - Sort in descending order

You can then specify the sorting type

SORT_REGULAR - Default. Arrange each item in regular order.

SORT_NUMERIC - Sort each item in numerical order.

SORT_STRING - Sort each item in alphabetical order.

Example code

$arr1 = array('10', 11, 100, 100, 'a');

$arr2 = array(1, 2, 3, '2', 5);

array_multisort($arr1, $arr2);

The result is:

$arr1
Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => a [2] => 11 [3] => 100 [4] => 100 )
# '10' is converted to the integer 10 when compared with 11, 100, 100, which is smaller than the other three numbers
# '10' is used as a string when compared with 'a'. Its first character '1' has an ascii code value of 49 which is less than 'a' (the ascii value is 97), so '10' is the smallest element
# When 'a' is compared with other three numbers, it is converted to an integer 0, which is smaller than the other three numbers

$arr2
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 5 [2] => 2 [3] => 2 [4] => 3 )
# $arr2 element 1 corresponds to $arr1 element '10' position, so it is ranked at [0] position
# $arr1[2] => 100, $arr1[3] => 100 correspond to $arr2 elements 3 and '2' respectively. 3 is greater than '2', so $arr1[2] corresponding to 2 => 100. The sorted subscript is

3, $arr1[3] corresponding to 3 => The index of 100 sorting is 4

Summary

1. The number of array elements participating in sorting remains the same
2. The corresponding positions of the sorted array elements are as follows: ‘10’ => 1, 11 => 2
3. The following array is sorted based on the order of the previous array
4. If the previous array encounters equal elements, compare the following array
