你是对的，你要找的函数是array_multisort()。

下面是一个直接摘自手册并根据你的情况进行调整的例子:

$price = array();
foreach ($inventory as $key => $row)
{
    $price[$key] = $row['price'];
}
array_multisort($price, SORT_DESC, $inventory);

从PHP 5.5.0开始，你可以使用array_column()来代替foreach:

$price = array_column($inventory, 'price');

array_multisort($price, SORT_DESC, $inventory);

$inventory = 
    array(array("type"=>"fruit", "price"=>3.50),
          array("type"=>"milk", "price"=>2.90),
          array("type"=>"pork", "price"=>5.43),
          );

function pricesort($a, $b) {
  $a = $a['price'];
  $b = $b['price'];
  if ($a == $b)
    return 0;
  return ($a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
}

usort($inventory, "pricesort");
// uksort($inventory, "pricesort");

print("first: ".$inventory[0]['type']."\n\n");
// for usort(): prints milk (item with lowest price)
// for uksort(): prints fruit (item with key 0 in the original $inventory)

// foreach prints the same for usort and uksort.
foreach($inventory as $i){
  print($i['type'].": ".$i['price']."\n");
}

输出:

first: pork

pork: 5.43
fruit: 3.5
milk: 2.9

$arr1 = array(

    array('id'=>1,'name'=>'aA','cat'=>'cc'),
    array('id'=>2,'name'=>'aa','cat'=>'dd'),
    array('id'=>3,'name'=>'bb','cat'=>'cc'),
    array('id'=>4,'name'=>'bb','cat'=>'dd')
);

$result1 = array_msort($arr1, array('name'=>SORT_DESC);

$result2 = array_msort($arr1, array('cat'=>SORT_ASC);

$result3 = array_msort($arr1, array('name'=>SORT_DESC, 'cat'=>SORT_ASC));


function array_msort($array, $cols)
{
    $colarr = array();
    foreach ($cols as $col => $order) {
    $colarr[$col] = array();
    foreach ($array as $k => $row) { $colarr[$col]['_'.$k] = strtolower($row[$col]); }
}

$eval = 'array_multisort(';

foreach ($cols as $col => $order) {
    $eval .= '$colarr[\''.$col.'\'],'.$order.',';
}

$eval = substr($eval,0,-1).');';
eval($eval);
$ret = array();
foreach ($colarr as $col => $arr) {
    foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
        $k = substr($k,1);
        if (!isset($ret[$k])) $ret[$k] = $array[$k];
        $ret[$k][$col] = $array[$k][$col];
    }
}
return $ret;


} 

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);

这是我很久以前发现的一个方法，并进行了一些清理。这工作得很好，并且可以快速更改为接受对象。

/**
 * A method for sorting arrays by a certain key:value.
 * SortByKey is the key you wish to sort by
 * Direction can be ASC or DESC.
 *
 * @param $array
 * @param $sortByKey
 * @param $sortDirection
 * @return array
 */
private function sortArray($array, $sortByKey, $sortDirection) {

    $sortArray = array();
    $tempArray = array();

    foreach ( $array as $key => $value ) {
        $tempArray[] = strtolower( $value[ $sortByKey ] );
    }

    if($sortDirection=='ASC'){ asort($tempArray ); }
        else{ arsort($tempArray ); }

    foreach ( $tempArray as $key => $temp ){
        $sortArray[] = $array[ $key ];
    }

    return $sortArray;

}

要更改排序对象的方法，只需更改以下行:

$tempArray[] = strtolower($value[$sortByKey]); 来 $tempArray[] = strtolower($value->$sortByKey);

要运行该方法，只需执行

盘存、’price’’ASC’sortArray(美元);

//Just in one line custom function
function cmp($a, $b)
{
return (float) $a['price'] < (float)$b['price'];
}
@uasort($inventory, "cmp");
print_r($inventory);

//result

Array
(
[2] => Array
    (
        [type] => pork
        [price] => 5.43
    )

[0] => Array
    (
        [type] => fruit
        [price] => 3.5
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [type] => milk
        [price] => 2.9
    )

)
