Sort Array by Value Alphabetically PHP

Sort array by value alphabetically php

You want the php function "asort":

http://php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php

it sorts the array, maintaining the index associations.

Edit: I've just noticed you're using a standard array (non-associative). if you're not fussed about preserving index associations, use sort():

PHP sort array alphabetically using a subarray value

Here is your answer and it works 100%, I've tested it.

<?php
$a = Array(
    1 => Array(
         'name' => 'Peter',
         'age' => 17
    ),
    0 => Array(
         'name' => 'Nina',
         'age' => 21
    ),
    2 => Array(
         'name' => 'Bill',
         'age' => 15
    ),
);
function compareByName($a, $b) {
  return strcmp($a["name"], $b["name"]);
}
usort($a, 'compareByName');
/* The next line is used for debugging, comment or delete it after testing */
print_r($a);

PHP: How to sort values of an array in alphabetical order?

See

• natcasesort: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.natcasesort.php
• usort: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.usort.php with a comparator function that compares strtolower(a) and strtolower(b).

sort array by length and then alphabetically

You can put both of the conditions into a usort comparison function.

usort($array, function($a, $b) {
    return strlen($a) - strlen($b) ?: strcmp($a, $b);
});

The general strategy for sorting by multiple conditions is to write comparison expressions for each of the conditions that returns the appropriate return type of the comparison function (an integer, positive, negative, or zero depending on the result of the comparison), and evaluate them in order of your desired sort order, e.g. first length, then alphabetical.

If an expression evaluates to zero, then the two items are equal in terms of that comparison, and the next expression should be evaluated. If not, then the value of that expression can be returned as the value of the comparison function.

The other answer here appears to be implying that this comparison function does not return an integer greater than, less than, or equal to zero. It does.

Sorting an array of arrays alphabetically by value in PHP

$sorted = array();
foreach ($currency_list as $currency => $countries) {
    foreach ($countries as $country) {
        $sorted[$country] = $currency;
    }
}

ksort($sorted);

print_r($sorted);  // do your loop here

Alphabetically sort multidimensional array's keys and values recursively in PHP

you need to check keys are numeric or alphabetic. try below solution you may need to modify conditions for your purpose:

<?php

function isAssoc(array $arr)
{
    return array_keys($arr) !== range(0, count($arr) - 1);
}

function sortArray(&$arr){
    if(isAssoc($arr)){
        ksort($arr);
    } else{
        asort($arr);
    }
    foreach ($arr as &$a){
        if(is_array($a)){
            sortArray($a);
        }
    }
}

$unsorted = array(
    'D' => array(
        'C' => array('c', 'b', 'a'),
        'B' => 'bvalue',
        'A' => array('a', 'c', 'b'),
    ),
    'C' => 'cvalue',
    'B' => 'bvalue',
    'A' => array(
        'Z' => 'zvalue',
        'A' => 'avalue',
        'B' => 'bvalue',
    )
);
sortArray($unsorted);

print_r($unsorted);

Output

Array
(
    [A] => Array
        (
            [A] => avalue
            [B] => bvalue
            [Z] => zvalue
        )

    [B] => bvalue
    [C] => cvalue
    [D] => Array
        (
            [A] => Array
                (
                    [0] => a
                    [2] => b
                    [1] => c
                )

            [B] => bvalue
            [C] => Array
                (
                    [2] => a
                    [1] => b
                    [0] => c
                )

        )

)

Sort multidimensional array alphabetically, by value and store it in a new variable

1) Store the inital array in a new variable:

$atoz_people = $people;

2) Create sorting function:

function sort_by_name($a,$b)
{
    return $a["name"] > $b["name"];
}

3) Sort array

uasort($atoz_people,"sort_by_name");
print_r_html($atoz_people);

@B. Desai: many thanks!

Sort array alphabetically in PHP

So what solve my problem is @LeoTahk 's suggestion of adding ksort().

Final code:

    <div class="col-lg-3" align="center">
      <?php
         $fields = get_field_objects();
//working solution
         ksort($fields);

         if($fields):
           ....
         endif; ?>
     </div>
