给定这个数组:

$inventory = array(

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

);

我想按价格排序$inventory的元素,以获得:

$inventory = array(

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

);

我该怎么做呢?


当前回答

我的结尾是这样的:

function sort_array_of_array(&$array, $subfield)
{
    $sortarray = array();
    foreach ($array as $key => $row)
    {
        $sortarray[$key] = $row[$subfield];
    }

    array_multisort($sortarray, SORT_ASC, $array);
}

只需调用函数,传递数组和第二级数组字段的名称。 如:

sort_array_of_array($inventory, 'price');

其他回答

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)
)
//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
    )

)

虽然其他人正确地建议使用array_multisort(),但由于某种原因,似乎没有答案承认array_column()的存在,它可以极大地简化解决方案。所以我的建议是:

array_multisort(array_column($inventory, 'price'), SORT_DESC, $inventory);

如果你想对字符串进行不区分大小写排序,你可以使用SORT_NATURAL|SORT_FLAG_CASE

array_multisort(array_column($inventory, 'key_name'), SORT_DESC, SORT_NATURAL|SORT_FLAG_CASE, $inventory);

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");

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);
