Sort an array of single-element arrays by float value [duplicate]

Question

I have this array and I want to sort it (ASC)?

$stand_array[$player_name][$player_points] = $player_rank;

print_r

Array ( [Player1] => Array ( [50] => 5.7 ) [Player2] => Array ( [40] => 4.2 ) [Player3] => Array ( [30] => 3.7 ) [Player4] => Array ( [20] => 2.3 ) [Player5] => Array ( [10 => 1.5 ) [Player6] => Array ( [60] => 6.3 ) )

Would you like to help me to solve this array on $player_rank (ASC)?

NB: I tried this function, but it did not work:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) { return $a[$player_rank] - $b[$player_rank]; } usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

Did you use sql to generate the array? or what did you used to — Neobugu

I did not generate it with sql otherwise would be easy to sort it. I created the array stand_array with array $player_points and array $player_rank — Shamss Zaidan

The variable $player_rank is not visible from the sortByOrder function scope. Also, the indexes is different in each player array, so you need to access it like this:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) { $a = end($a); $b = end($b); if ($a == $b) { return 0; } return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1; } usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

And if you want to save keys in $myArray then you must use the uasort function instead of usort.
