Sort multi-dimensional array by specific key

Question

I have an array:

Array (
    [0] => stdClass Object (
        [user_id] => 1
        [ID] => 1
        [user_login] => admin
        [display_name] => admin
        [user_email] => [email protected]
        [meta_value] => a:1:{s:13:\"administrator\";s:1:\"1\";}
    )
    [1] => stdClass Object (
        [user_id] => 4
        [ID] => 4
        [user_login] => ungtinflytande
        [display_name] => ungtinflytande
        [user_email] => [email protected]
        [meta_value] => a:1:{s:13:\"administrator\";s:1:\"1\";}
    )
    [2] => stdClass Object (
        [user_id] => 5
        [ID] => 5
        [user_login] => inflytandepilot
        [display_name] => inflytandepilot
        [user_email] => [email protected]
        [meta_value] => a:1:{s:6:\"author\";s:1:\"1\";}
    )
    [3] => stdClass Object (
        [user_id] => 11
        [ID] => 11
        [user_login] => matsbohman
        [display_name] => matsbohman
        [user_email] => [email protected]
        [meta_value] => a:1:{s:6:\"editor\";s:1:\"1\";}
    )
    [4] => stdClass Object (
        [user_id] => 12
        [ID] => 12
        [user_login] => klarakviberg
        [display_name] => klarakviberg
        [user_email] => [email protected]
        [meta_value] => a:1:{s:13:\"administrator\";s:1:\"1\";}
    )
)

...that I wanna sort by the display_name key. I currently print it like this:

foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
    ...
}

How do I do this?

Answer 1

You would use usort() - http://php.net/usort

My suggestion would be:

    function cmp($a, $b)
    {
        return strcmp($a->display_name, $b->display_name);
    }

    usort($blogusers, "cmp");

    foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser)
    {
        ...
