array_multisort

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

array_multisortSort multiple or multi-dimensional arrays

Descrierea

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

array_multisort() can be used to sort several arrays at once, or a multi-dimensional array by one or more dimensions.

Associative (string) keys will be maintained, but numeric keys will be re-indexed.

Parametri

arr

An array being sorted.

arg

Optionally another array, or sort options for the previous array argument:

Sorting type flags:

  • SORT_ASC - sort items ascendingly.
  • SORT_DESC - sort items descendingly.
  • SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally (don't change types)
  • SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically
  • SORT_STRING - compare items as strings
  • SORT_LOCALE_STRING - compare items as strings, based on the current locale. It uses the locale, which can be changed using setlocale()
  • SORT_NATURAL - compare items as strings using "natural ordering" like natsort()
  • SORT_FLAG_CASE - can be combined (bitwise OR) with SORT_STRING or SORT_NATURAL to sort strings case-insensitively

...

Additional arg's.

Valorile întoarse

Întoarce valoarea TRUE în cazul succesului sau FALSE în cazul eșecului.

Istoria schimbărilor

Versiunea Descriere
5.4.0 The SORT_NATURAL and SORT_FLAG_CASE were added to arg as possible sort flags.
5.3.0 The SORT_LOCALE_STRING was added to arg as possible sort flags.

Exemple

Example #1 Sorting multiple arrays

<?php
$ar1 
= array(101001000);
$ar2 = array(1324);
array_multisort($ar1$ar2);

var_dump($ar1);
var_dump($ar2);
?>

In this example, after sorting, the first array will contain 0, 10, 100, 100. The second array will contain 4, 1, 2, 3. The entries in the second array corresponding to the identical entries in the first array (100 and 100) were sorted as well.

array(4) {
  [0]=> int(0)
  [1]=> int(10)
  [2]=> int(100)
  [3]=> int(100)
}
array(4) {
  [0]=> int(4)
  [1]=> int(1)
  [2]=> int(2)
  [3]=> int(3)
}

Example #2 Sorting multi-dimensional array

<?php
$ar 
= array(
       array(
"10"11100100"a"),
       array(   
1,  2"2",   3,   1)
      );
array_multisort($ar[0], SORT_ASCSORT_STRING,
                
$ar[1], SORT_NUMERICSORT_DESC);
var_dump($ar);
?>

In this example, after sorting, the first array will transform to "10", 100, 100, 11, "a" (it was sorted as strings in ascending order). The second will contain 1, 3, "2", 2, 1 (sorted as numbers, in descending order).

array(2) {
  [0]=> array(5) {
    [0]=> string(2) "10"
    [1]=> int(100)
    [2]=> int(100)
    [3]=> int(11)
    [4]=> string(1) "a"
  }
  [1]=> array(5) {
    [0]=> int(1)
    [1]=> int(3)
    [2]=> string(1) "2"
    [3]=> int(2)
    [4]=> int(1)
  }
}

Example #3 Sorting database results

For this example, each element in the data array represents one row in a table. This type of dataset is typical of database records.

Example data:

volume | edition
-------+--------
    67 |       2
    86 |       1
    85 |       6
    98 |       2
    86 |       6
    67 |       7

The data as an array, called data. This would usually, for example, be obtained by looping with mysql_fetch_assoc().

<?php
$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);
?>

In this example, we will order by volume descending, edition ascending.

We have an array of rows, but array_multisort() requires an array of columns, so we use the below code to obtain the columns, then perform the sorting.

<?php
// Obtain a list of columns
foreach ($data as $key => $row) {
    
$volume[$key]  = $row['volume'];
    
$edition[$key] = $row['edition'];
}

// Sort the data with volume descending, edition ascending
// Add $data as the last parameter, to sort by the common key
array_multisort($volumeSORT_DESC$editionSORT_ASC$data);
?>

The dataset is now sorted, and will look like this:

volume | edition
-------+--------
    98 |       2
    86 |       1
    86 |       6
    85 |       6
    67 |       2
    67 |       7

Example #4 Case insensitive sorting

Both SORT_STRING and SORT_REGULAR are case sensitive, strings starting with a capital letter will come before strings starting with a lowercase letter.

To perform a case insensitive search, force the sorting order to be determined by a lowercase copy of the original array.

<?php
$array 
= array('Alpha''atomic''Beta''bank');
$array_lowercase array_map('strtolower'$array);

array_multisort($array_lowercaseSORT_ASCSORT_STRING$array);

print_r($array);
?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

Array
(
    [0] => Alpha
    [1] => atomic
    [2] => bank
    [3] => Beta
)
