适用于PHP 7及更高版本。

/**
 * A method for sorting associative arrays by a key and a direction.
 * Direction can be ASC or DESC.
 *
 * @param $array
 * @param $key
 * @param $direction
 * @return mixed $array
 */
function sortAssociativeArrayByKey($array, $key, $direction){

    switch ($direction){
        case "ASC":
            usort($array, function ($first, $second) use ($key) {
                return $first[$key] <=> $second[$key];
            });
            break;
        case "DESC":
            usort($array, function ($first, $second) use ($key) {
                return $second[$key] <=> $first[$key];
            });
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

    return $array;
}

用法:

$inventory = sortAssociativeArrayByKey($inventory, "price", "ASC");

试试这个:

asort($array_to_sort, SORT_NUMERIC);

参考如下: http://php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php

在这里查看各种排序标志: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php

在php中，根据给定key的值对关联数组进行排序:

通过使用usort (http://php.net/usort)，我们可以按升序和降序对数组进行排序。只是我们需要创建一个函数，并将其作为参数传递给usort。按照下面的例子，使用大于表示升序，如果我们通过小于条件，那么它将按降序排序。 例子:

$array = array(
  array('price'=>'1000.50','product'=>'test1'),
  array('price'=>'8800.50','product'=>'test2'),
  array('price'=>'200.0','product'=>'test3')
);

function cmp($a, $b) {
  return $a['price'] > $b['price'];
}

usort($array, "cmp");
print_r($array);

输出:

Array
 (
    [0] => Array
        (
            [price] => 200.0
            [product] => test3
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [price] => 1000.50
            [product] => test1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [price] => 8800.50
            [product] => test2
        )
  )

如果需要对不同大小写的字符串数组进行排序，这将把排序数组的值更改为小写。

$data = [
    [
        'name' => 'jack',
        'eyeColor' => 'green'
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'Amy',
        'eyeColor' => 'brown'
    ],
    [   
        'name' => 'Cody',
        'eyeColor' => 'blue'
    ] 
];
function toLowerCase($a) { return strtolower($a); }
$sortArray = array_map("toLowerCase",array_column($data, 'name'));
array_multisort($sortArray, SORT_ASC, $data);

从PHP 7.4开始，你可以使用arrow函数:

usort(
    $inventory, 
    fn(array $a, array $b): int => $b['price'] <=> $a['price']
);

代码(演示):

$inventory = [
    ['type' => 'fruit', 'price' => 3.50],
    ['type' => 'milk',  'price' => 2.90],
    ['type' => 'pork',  'price' => 5.43],
];

usort(
    $inventory, 
    fn(array $a, array $b): int => $b['price'] <=> $a['price']
);

print_r($inventory);

(浓缩)输出:

Array
(
    [0] => Array ([type] => pork,  [price] => 5.43)
    [1] => Array ([type] => fruit, [price] => 3.5)
    [2] => Array ([type] => milk,  [price] => 2.9)
)

完整的动态功能 我跳到这里进行关联数组排序，并在http://php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php上找到了这个惊人的函数。这个函数是非常动态的，用指定的键按升序和降序排序。

按特定键对数组排序的简单函数。维护索引关联

<?php

function array_sort($array, $on, $order=SORT_ASC)
{
    $new_array = array();
    $sortable_array = array();

    if (count($array) > 0) {
        foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
            if (is_array($v)) {
                foreach ($v as $k2 => $v2) {
                    if ($k2 == $on) {
                        $sortable_array[$k] = $v2;
                    }
                }
            } else {
                $sortable_array[$k] = $v;
            }
        }

        switch ($order) {
            case SORT_ASC:
                asort($sortable_array);
            break;
            case SORT_DESC:
                arsort($sortable_array);
            break;
        }

        foreach ($sortable_array as $k => $v) {
            $new_array[$k] = $array[$k];
        }
    }

    return $new_array;
}

$people = array(
    12345 => array(
        'id' => 12345,
        'first_name' => 'Joe',
        'surname' => 'Bloggs',
