uksort
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
uksort — 使用用户自定义的比较函数对数组中的键名进行排序
说明
使用用户自定义的比较函数对 array 本身进行按键（key）排序以确定顺序。
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 uksort() 例子
<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
$a = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $a);
$b = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $b);
return strcasecmp($a, $b);
}
$a = array("John" => 1, "the Earth" => 2, "an apple" => 3, "a banana" => 4);
uksort($a, "cmp");
foreach ($a as $key => $value) {
echo "$key: $value\n";
}
?>
以上例程会输出：
an apple: 3 a banana: 4 the Earth: 2 John: 1

sort with collation, to have umlauts correctly:
uksort($retval, array(Collator::create( 'de_DE' ), 'compare'));

(about sorting an array of objects by their properties in a class - inspired by webmaster at zeroweb dot org at usort function)
I'm using classes as an abstraction for querying records in a database and use arrays of objects to store records that have an 1 to n relationship. E.g. a class "family" has family members stored as an array of objects. Each of those objects prepresents a record in a database related to the family (by it's familyId).
To identify members, I'm using their memberId as the key of the array e.g. $family->members[$memberId].
To sort the family members AFTER fetching them with the database query, you can use the functions _objSort and sortMembers which will sort the "members" array by key using it's properties (for space reasons I didn't include the methods used to open the records):
<?php
class familyMember
{
var $memberId;
var $familyId;
var $firstName;
var $age;
var $hairColor;
// ...
}
class family
{
var $familyId;
var $name;
var $members = array(); // array of familyMember objects
var $sortFields = array();
var $sortDirections = array();
// ...
function _objSort(&$a, &$b, $i = 0)
{
$field = $this->sortFields[$i];
$direction = $this->sortDirections[$i];
$diff = strnatcmp($this->details[$a]->$field, $this->details[$b]->$field) * $direction;
if ($diff == 0 && isset($this->sortFields[++$i]))
{
$diff = $this->_objSort($a, $b, $i);
}
return $diff;
}
function sortMembers($sortFields)
{
$i = 0;
foreach ($sortFields as $field => $direction)
{
$this->sortFields[$i] = $field;
$direction == "DESC" ? $this->sortDirections[$i] = -1 : $this->sortDirections[$i] = 1;
$i++;
}
uksort($this->details, array($this, "_objSort"));
$this->sortFields = array();
$this->sortDirections = array();
}
}
// open a family
$familyId = 5;
$family = new family($familyId);
$family->open(); // this will also fetch all members
// sort members by 3 fields
$family->sortMembers(array("firstName" => "ASC", "age" => "DESC", "hairColor" => "ASC"));
// output all family members
foreach ($family->members as $member)
{
echo $member->firstName." - ".$member->age." - ".$member->hairColor."<br />";
}
?>
Note that this might not be the fastest thing on earth and it hasn't been tested very much yet but I hope it's useful for someone.

Regarding the recursive sorting function above:
Genrally speaking, any recursion can be reimplemented using simple iteration. in the specific case, using recursion to compare strings has a huge performance impact while a simple loop would suffice and be faster and more simple.
Recursion is only good if it simplifies your code or your understanding of the concept. the previous example does neither, especially as it does a lot of repetitive things in each iteration, such as asigning the character order constant, rebuilding it into an array and such
For example, the string comparison could be written as such :
function str_compare($a,$b) {
$order="aA??bBcCčČ..."; // longer normally & without that html entities
$default = strlen($a) - strlen($b);
$minlen = strlen($a) < strlen($b) ? strlen($a) : strlen($b);
for ($i = 0; $i < $minlen; $i++) {
$pos_a=strpos($order,$a[$i]);
$pos_b=strpos($order,$b[$i]);
if ($pos_a != $pos_b)
return $pos_a - $pos_b;
}
return $default;
}
Which is much simpler and faster.
Note that the above function will break for characters that are not listed in $order. it should be failry trivial to fix it.

Case insensitive without own function:

One remark regarding array_sorter class.
It won't work correctly with eg. dates from mysql like 20041206105350, cause you can't convert such number into integer. To fix it remove intval() from the code. If the variable is a number it will work without converting this to int anyways. Here is the fix.
<?php
....
if ($a == $b)
return 0;
if ($this->sasc)
return ($a > $b) ? 1 : -1;
else
return ($a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
...
?>

The code below allows you to sort an array_A following array_B keys order, original keys and values remain associated.
<?
//main function
Function SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys(&$TheArrayToSort){
uksort($TheArrayToSort,"SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys_cmp");
}
//the custom compare function
Function SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys_cmp($a,$b){
global $TheArrayOrder;
$PosA=KeyPosInArray($a,$TheArrayOrder);
$PosB=KeyPosInArray($b,$TheArrayOrder);
if ($PosA==$PosB){return 0;}else{return ($PosA > $PosB ? 1 : -1);}
}
//where is my key in my array
Function KeyPosInArray($Key,$Array){
$i=0;
$Pos=99999999;
if($Array){
foreach($Array as $K => $V){
$i++;
if($K==$Key){
$Pos=$i;
break;
}
}
}
return $Pos;
}
//the array you want to sort
$AnyArrayToSort['age']='19';
$AnyArrayToSort['ville']='rennes';
$AnyArrayToSort['website']='kik-it.com';
$AnyArrayToSort['region']='bretagne';
$AnyArrayToSort['code_postal']='35200';
$AnyArrayToSort['Nom']='Fred';
//the array with the correct keys/values order
$TheArrayOrder['Nom']='Whatever';
$TheArrayOrder['age']='Anything';
$TheArrayOrder['region']='What u want';
$TheArrayOrder['ville']='Something';
$TheArrayOrder['code_postal']='Nothing';
//before sort
print_r($AnyArrayToSort);
echo "<br>";
//we sort
SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys($AnyArrayToSort);
echo "<br>";
//after sort
print_r($AnyArrayToSort);
?>
Will print :
Array ( [age] => 19 [ville] => rennes [website] => kik-it.com [region] => bretagne [code_postal] => 35200 [Nom] => Fred )
Array ( [Nom] => Fred [age] => 19 [region] => bretagne [ville] => rennes [code_postal] => 35200 [website] => kik-it.com )
The keys not listed in the $TheArrayOrder will appear at the end of your sorted array (only if Key Pos < 99999999 ;o)

If you need to periodically sort by grades (A, A+, D-, etc.), here is a compare function that compares strings by the case-insensitive method, unless it finds a grade, in which case it correctly sorts by putting "plus" grades first, unmarked grades second, and "minus" grades last.
<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
$a = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $a);
$b = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $b);
//special code for grades
if (strpos( $a, "+") !== false || strpos( $b, "+") !== false ||
strpos( $a, "-") !== false || strpos( $b, "-") !== false ){
$substrA = substr($a, 0, 1);
$substrB = substr($b, 0, 1);
$modifierA = (strlen($a) == 2) ? substr($a, 1, 1) : "";
$modifierB = (strlen($b) == 2) ? substr($b, 1, 1) : "";
if ($substrA == $substrB){
//figure out plusses and minuses.
if ($modifierA == "+"){
return -1;
} else if ($modifierB == "+"){
return 1;
}
if ($modifierA == "-"){
return 1;
} else if ($modifierB == '-'){
return -1;
}
} else {
return strcasecmp($a, $b);
}
}
return strcasecmp($a, $b);
}
$grades = array(
"C+" => 13 ,
"C" => 10 ,
"D+" => 8 ,
"B+" => 7 ,
"C-" => 6 ,
"A-" => 5 ,
"F" => 5 ,
"B" => 4 ,
"B-" => 4 ,
"D" => 3 ,
"D-" => 3 ,
"A+" => 1
);
uksort($grades, "cmp");
?>
result: Array
(
[A+] => 1
[A-] => 5
[B+] => 7
[B] => 4
[B-] => 4
[C+] => 13
[C] => 10
[C-] => 6
[D+] => 8
[D] => 3
[D-] => 3
[F] => 5
)

This might be obvious to many, but just to help others that are trying to use this in a class. Inside a class, you can prefix the function with self:: within the uksort(), and it will work. Also, if it is in another class that is included, you can prefix it with the class name.
class someclass {
private function ArraySortCMPIP($a, $b) {
$a = ip2long($a);
$b = ip2long($b);
if ($a == $b) return 0;
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
// Output
public function PrintResults() {
uksort($this->someIPAddressArray, 'self::ArraySortCMPIP');
print_r($this->someIPAddressArray);
}
}

To sort dates with uksort:
function datediff($a, $b) {
$a = date('U',$a);
$b = date('U',$b);
if ($a == $b) $r = 0;
else $r = ($a > $b) ? 1: -1;
return $r;

I needed to be able to sort a string that contained numbers eg.
"Slot 1 name"
"Slot 2 name"
"Slot 10 name"
using a normal string compare the "Slot 10 name" would appear before "Slot 2 name" so I wrote little function that will compare a string taking numbers in to consideration. There may be a few edge cases that need to be taken in to consideration.
function strCmpWithNumbers( $a, $b) {
// Split the string in to words.
$a = explode(' ',$a);
$b = explode(' ',$b);
$loop = 0;
do {
// Get the first word from each item
$ta = Utils::gvfa($a, $loop);
$tb = Utils::gvfa($b, $loop);
if (isset($ta)) {
if (isset($tb)) {
if (is_numeric($ta)) {
if ($ta != $tb) {
return $ta - $tb;
}
} else {
$val = strcasecmp($ta, $tb);
if ($val != 0) {
return $val;
}
}
} else {
return 1; // a is set but b isn't
}
} else {
return isset($b);
}
$loop +=1;
} while (true);
}

Here is a small and very fast object to handle sorting of multidimentional arrays by a key.
<?php
/**
* Handles multidimentional array sorting by a key (not recursive)
*
* @author Oliwier Ptak <aleczapka at gmx dot net>
*/
class array_sorter
{
var $skey = false;
var $sarray = false;
var $sasc = true;
/**
* Constructor
*
* @access public
* @param mixed $array array to sort
* @param string $key array key to sort by
* @param boolean $asc sort order (ascending or descending)
*/
function array_sorter(&$array, $key, $asc=true)
{
$this->sarray = $array;
$this->skey = $key;
$this->sasc = $asc;
}
/**
* Sort method
*
* @access public
* @param boolean $remap if true reindex the array to rewrite indexes
*/
function sortit($remap=true)
{
$array = &$this->sarray;
uksort($array, array($this, "_as_cmp"));
if ($remap)
{
$tmp = array();
while (list($id, $data) = each($array))
$tmp[] = $data;
return $tmp;
}
return $array;
}
/**
* Custom sort function
*
* @access private
* @param mixed $a an array entry
* @param mixed $b an array entry
*/
function _as_cmp($a, $b)
{
//since uksort will pass here only indexes get real values from our array
if (!is_array($a) && !is_array($b))
{
$a = $this->sarray[$a][$this->skey];
$b = $this->sarray[$b][$this->skey];
}
//if string - use string comparision
if (!ctype_digit($a) && !ctype_digit($b))
{
if ($this->sasc)
return strcasecmp($a, $b);
else
return strcasecmp($b, $a);
}
else
{
if (intval($a) == intval($b))
return 0;
if ($this->sasc)
return (intval($a) > intval($b)) ? -1 : 1;
else
return (intval($a) > intval($b)) ? 1 : -1;
}
}
}//end of class
?>
Sample $input_array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 961
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 147
[created] => 20041206105350
[modified] => 20041206110702
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 41
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 153
[created] => 20041025154009
[modified] => 20041206105532
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 703
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 419
[created] => 20041025154132
[modified] => 20041027150259
)
Example of usage:
<?php
function multi_sort(&$array, $key, $asc=true)
{
$sorter = new array_sorter($array, $key, $asc);
return $sorter->sortit();
}
//sort by parent_id in descending order
$my_array = multi_sort($input_array, "parent_id", false);
?>
The result array will be:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 703
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 419
[created] => 20041025154132
[modified] => 20041027150259
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 41
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 153
[created] => 20041025154009
[modified] => 20041206105532
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 961
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 147
[created] => 20041206105350
[modified] => 20041206110702
)

To use a more complicated comparison function, one can use a callback to a method of an object instance.
For example the following will take an array $arr whose keys are the same as those of $reference, and reorder $arr so that the keys appear in the same order as in $reference.
class kcmp {
var $reference ;
function kcmp( $reference ) {
$this->reference = $reference ;
}
function kcompare( $a, $b ) {
$keys = array_keys( $this->reference ) ;
$position_a = array_search( $a, $keys ) ;
$position_b = array_search( $b, $keys ) ;
return $position_a < $position_b ? -1 : 1 ;
}
}
$reference = array(
"k2" => "a2",
"k3" => "a3",
"k1" => "a1"
) ;
$arr = array(
"k1" => "b1",
"k2" => "b2",
"k3" => "b3"
) ;
print_r( $arr ) ;
uksort( $arr, array( new kcmp( $reference ), "kcompare" ) ) ;
print_r( $arr ) ;

An associative array with known keys can be easily custom sorted using a switch statement in the callback:
NB ksort can be used beforehand to ensure expected results
ksort($array);
uksort($array, function ($a) {
switch($a) {
case 'pepperoni':
return 0;
case 'beef':
return 1;
case 'chicken':
return 2;
case 'ham':
return 3;
case 'vegetarian':
return 4;
}
});
