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

这个函数在所有主要的PHP版本上都可以100%运行，并且在PHP5, PHP7, PHP8上都进行了测试。

    function sort_my_array($array, $order_by, $order)
    {
        switch ($order) {
            case "asc":
                usort($array, function ($first, $second) use ($order_by) {
                    if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.0.0') >= 0) {
                        return $first[$order_by] <=> $second[$order_by];
                    } else {
                        $array_cmp = strcmp($first[$order_by], $second[$order_by]);
                        return $array_cmp ;
                    }
                });
                break;
            case "desc":
                usort($certificates, function ($first, $second) use ($order_by) {
                    if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.0.0') >= 0) {
                        return $first[$order_by] <=> $second[$order_by];
                    } else {
                        $array_cmp = strcmp($first[$order_by], $second[$order_by]);
                        return -$array_cmp ;
                    }
                });
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
        return $array;
    }

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',
        'age' => 23,
        'sex' => 'm'
    ),
    12346 => array(
        'id' => 12346,
        'first_name' => 'Adam',
        'surname' => 'Smith',
        'age' => 18,
        'sex' => 'm'
    ),
    12347 => array(
        'id' => 12347,
        'first_name' => 'Amy',
        'surname' => 'Jones',
        'age' => 21,
        'sex' => 'f'
    )
);

print_r(array_sort($people, 'age', SORT_DESC)); // Sort by oldest first
print_r(array_sort($people, 'surname', SORT_ASC)); // Sort by surname

$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;


} 

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");
