a quick reminder on the syntax if you want to use uasort in a Class or Object:
<?php
// procedural:
uasort($collection, 'my_sort_function');
// Object Oriented
uasort($collection, array($this, 'mySortMethod'));
// Objet Oriented with static method
uasort($collection, array('self', 'myStaticSortMethod'));
?>
PHP - Manual: uasort
2024-12-21
uasort
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
uasort —
使用用户自定义的比较函数，保持索引和值的对应关系，原地排序 array。
说明
本函数对 array 本身排序并保持索引和单元之间的关联。
主要用于对那些单元顺序很重要的结合数组进行排序。比较函数是用户自定义的。
注意:
如果两个成员完全相同，那么它们将保持原来的顺序。 在 PHP 8.0.0 之前，它们在排序数组中的相对顺序是未定义的。
注意:
重置数组中的内部指针，指向第一个元素。
参数
-
array -
输入的数组。
-
callback -
在第一个参数小于，等于或大于第二个参数时，该比较函数必须相应地返回一个小于，等于或大于 0 的整数。
返回值
总是返回 true 。
更新日志
| 版本 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 |
如果 callback 接受引用传递参数，该方法将会抛出
E_WARNING。

范例
示例 #1 uasort() 的基本例子
<?php
// 比较函数
function cmp($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
// 要排序的数组
$array = array('a' => 4, 'b' => 8, 'c' => -1, 'd' => -9, 'e' => 2, 'f' => 5, 'g' => 3, 'h' => -4);
print_r($array);
// 排序并打印排序后的数组
uasort($array, 'cmp');
print_r($array);
?>
以上例程会输出：
Array
(
[a] => 4
[b] => 8
[c] => -1
[d] => -9
[e] => 2
[f] => 5
[g] => 3
[h] => -4
)
Array
(
[d] => -9
[h] => -4
[c] => -1
[e] => 2
[g] => 3
[a] => 4
[f] => 5
[b] => 8
)

An Example using anonymous function.
Anonymous functions make some time the code easier to understand.
<?php
$fruits = array('Orange9','Orange11','Orange10','Orange6','Orange15');
uasort ( $fruits , function ($a, $b) {
return strnatcmp($a,$b); // or other function/code
}
);
print_r($fruits);
?>
returns
Array
(
[3] => Orange6
[0] => Orange9
[2] => Orange10
[1] => Orange11
[4] => Orange15
)

If you want to keep the order when two members compare as equal, use this.
<?php
function stable_uasort(&$array, $cmp_function) {
if(count($array) < 2) {
return;
}
$halfway = count($array) / 2;
$array1 = array_slice($array, 0, $halfway, TRUE);
$array2 = array_slice($array, $halfway, NULL, TRUE);
stable_uasort($array1, $cmp_function);
stable_uasort($array2, $cmp_function);
if(call_user_func($cmp_function, end($array1), reset($array2)) < 1) {
$array = $array1 + $array2;
return;
}
$array = array();
reset($array1);
reset($array2);
while(current($array1) && current($array2)) {
if(call_user_func($cmp_function, current($array1), current($array2)) < 1) {
$array[key($array1)] = current($array1);
next($array1);
} else {
$array[key($array2)] = current($array2);
next($array2);
}
}
while(current($array1)) {
$array[key($array1)] = current($array1);
next($array1);
}
while(current($array2)) {
$array[key($array2)] = current($array2);
next($array2);
}
return;
}
function cmp($a, $b) {
if($a['n'] == $b['n']) {
return 0;
}
return ($a['n'] > $b['n']) ? -1 : 1;

User "php at clement dot hk" already provided a stable uasort function, but I find this wrapper much shorter and easier to understand:
https://github.com/vanderlee/PHP-stable-sort-functions/blob/master/classes/StableSort.php
function stable_uasort(array &$array, $value_compare_func) {
$index = 0;
foreach ($array as &$item) {
$item = array($index++, $item);
}
$result = uasort($array, function($a, $b) use($value_compare_func) {
$result = call_user_func($value_compare_func, $a[1], $b[1]);
return $result == 0 ? $a[0] - $b[0] : $result;
});
foreach ($array as &$item) {
$item = $item[1];
}
return $result;
}

Difference between uasort() and usort(), the missing example ...

2 => array('id' => 'deux', 'aa' => '22'),
7 => array('id' => 'sept', 'aa' => '77'));
// id sorting
function so ($a, $b) { return (strcmp ($a['id'],$b['id'])); }
?>
*** uasort($arr, 'so') output:
<?php Array (
[100] => Array
(
[id] => cent
[aa] => 100100
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => deux
[aa] => 22

I tried using some of the previous built multisorts, but they weren't working as expected.
So, I made my own Class, and it seems to work wonderfully.
Here is the code:
<?php
/************************************
* Allows sorting multi-dimensional
* arrays by a specific key and in
* asc or desc order
**/
class multiSort
{
var $key; //key in your array
//runs the sort, and returns sorted array
function run ($myarray, $key_to_sort, $type_of_sort = '')
{
$this->key = $key_to_sort;
if ($type_of_sort == 'desc')
uasort($myarray, array($this, 'myreverse_compare'));
else
uasort($myarray, array($this, 'mycompare'));
return $myarray;
}
//for ascending order
function mycompare($x, $y)
{
if ( $x[$this->key] == $y[$this->key] )
return 0;
else if ( $x[$this->key] < $y[$this->key] )
return -1;
else
return 1;
}
//for descending order
function myreverse_compare($x, $y)
{
if ( $x[$this->key] == $y[$this->key] )
return 0;
else if ( $x[$this->key] > $y[$this->key] )
return -1;
else
return 1;
}
}
?>

Is it just me, or are the examples below misleading, and actually demonstrating situations that would be more appropriate for usort()?
After trying to make sense of the uasort() description, it sounds like it's more for sorting a 1D array like this:
"john" => "$23.12"
"tim" => "$6.50"
"bob" => "$18.54"
and getting back:
"tim" => "$6.50"
"bob" => "$18.54"
"john" => $23.12"
(assuming, of course, that your sort function is lopping off the $ and evaluating as a number -- which would complicate the use of asort() ;)

Use example:
$array[0]['Fator1']=7;
$array[0]['Fator2']="Name";
$array[1]['Fator1']=5;
$array[1]['Fator2']="Name";
$array[2]['Fator1']=7;
$array[2]['Fator2']="NameDiferente";
.....
We want to order by Fator1, then Fator2, then:
function Compare($ar1, $ar2)
{
if ($ar1['Fator1']<$ar2['Fator1'])
return -1;
else if ($ar1['Fator1']>$ar2['Fator1'])
return 1;
if ($ar1['Fator2']<$ar2['Fator2'])
return -1;
else if ($ar1['Fator2']>$ar2['Fator2'])
return 1;
return 0;
}
To sort now, we use:
uasort($array, 'Compare');

To shuffle assoc array preserving keys just do this:
<?php uasort(
$array,
function ($a, $b) {
return mt_rand(0, 1) > 0 ? 1 : -1;

A stable sort is realized by merging sorting, like "uasort" but stable, and the code is modified based on "mergesort"
<?php
function uamergesort(&$array, $callback = 'strcmp') {
$arraycount = count($array);
if ($arraycount < 2) {
return;
}
$halfway = $arraycount / 2;
$array1 = array_slice($array, 0, $halfway, true);
$array2 = array_slice($array, $halfway, null, true);
$this->uamergesort($array1, $callback);
$this->uamergesort($array2, $callback);
$array = array();
$ptr1 = $ptr2 = 0;
$array1keys = array_keys($array1);
$array1 = array_values($array1);
$array2keys = array_keys($array2);
$array2 = array_values($array2);
$array1count = count($array1);
$array2count = count($array2);
while ($ptr1 < $array1count && $ptr2 < $array2count) {
if (call_user_func($callback, $array1[$ptr1], $array2[$ptr2]) < 1) {
$array[$array1keys[$ptr1]] = $array1[$ptr1];
$ptr1++;
} else {
$array[$array2keys[$ptr2]] = $array2[$ptr2];
$ptr2++;
}
}
while ($ptr1 < $array1count) {$array[$array1keys[$ptr1]] = $array1[$ptr1]; $ptr1++;}
while ($ptr2 < $array2count) {$array[$array2keys[$ptr2]] = $array2[$ptr2]; $ptr2++;}
return;
}
?>

Keep in mind that PHP sorting functions are not reliable to handle "stable sorting", even since PHP7+.
It might work on small arrays, but not on "big" ones (100 items are enough for the stable sorting to fail).
<?php
$a = array_fill(0, 100, 'foo');
$b = $a;
var_dump($b === $a); // bool(true)
uasort($a, function () {
return 0; // Consider all items are the same
});
var_dump($b === $a); // bool(false)
?>
To ensure $b === $a, use a 3rd-party stable sorting function:

Here is a bug fix for "php at clement dot hk" stable_uasort(&$array, $cmp_function)
The implementation has problems with "0" values, because while() cycle stops on current() returning value "0" which is considered false. The condition must be !== false
Just fix those 3 lines:
while(current($array1) && current($array2)) => while(current($array1)!==false && current($array2)!==false)
while(current($array1)) => while(current($array1)!==false)
while(current($array2)) => while(current($array1)!==false)

Just expanding on php arobase kochira period com's method:
If you are looking to sort a multi-D array by a specific column and have entries in both upper and lower case, simply drop the entries to lowercase before doing the strcmp.
<?php
$dirs = array(
array('name' => 'First Folder', 'path' => 'sompath'),
array('name' => 'second folder', 'path' => 'sompath2'),
array('name' => 'Third Folder', 'path' => 'sompath3')
);
function so($a, $b) {
return (strcmp (strtolower($a['name']), strtolower($b['name'])));
}
?>

Here is a little sort function that actually uses a dynamic callback for usort to do it's thing.
It assumes your data is in the form of:
$data = array(
array('ID'=>'6','LAST'=>'Holmes','FIRST'=>'Dan'),
array('ID'=>'1234','LAST'=>'Smith','FIRST'=>'Agent K'),
array('ID'=>'2','LAST'=>'Smith','FIRST'=>'Agent J'),
array('ID'=>'4','LAST'=>'Barney','FIRST'=>'Bob'));
Now, you want to sort on one or more cols, don't you?
masort($data, 'LAST,FIRST');
or
masort($data,array('FIRST','ID'));
Of course you could add a bunch to it (like numeric comparison if appropriate, desc/asc, etc) but it works for me.
function masort(&$data, $sortby){
if(is_array($sortby)){
$sortby = join(',',$sortby);
}
uasort($data,create_function('$a,$b','$skeys = split(\',\',\''.$sortby.'\');
foreach($skeys as $key){
if( ($c = strcasecmp($a[$key],$b[$key])) != 0 ){
return($c);
}
}
return($c); '));
}
Notice that I am splitting the string in the comparison function? While this is certainly slower, it was the only way I would find to "pass" and "array". If anyone has a better way, please suggest. Then inside, we (string) compare the values only moving to the next key if the values are the same...and so on, and so on.

My simple and effective solution for sort multi-dimensional array by any key:
<?php
function sort_by_key ($arr,$key) {
global $key2sort;
$key2sort = $key;
uasort($arr, 'sbk');
return ($arr);
}
function sbk ($a, $b) {global $key2sort; return (strcasecmp ($a[$key2sort],$b[$key2sort]));}
?>

You can sort a multidimensionnal array by any of its key with this function:
function multi_sort($array, $key)
{
$cmp_val="((\$a['$key']>\$b['$key'])?1:
((\$a['$key']==\$b['$key'])?0:-1))";
$cmp=create_function('$a, $b', "return $body;");
uasort($array, $cmp);
return $array;
}
example:
$myarray = array(
array("name"=>"kernighan", "language"=>"c"),
array("name"=>"lerdorf", "language"=>"php"),
array("name"=>"Stroustrup", "language"=>"c++"),
array("name"=>"Gosling", "language"=>"java")
);
multi_sort($myarray, "name") returns:
name=Gosling language=java
name=Kernighan language=c
name=Lerdorf language=php
name=Stroustrup language=c++
