Sorting multidimensional array in a table PHP

Question

I would like to sort only the "Name" value on a table but it doesn't seem to work.

$fruits = array(
      array(
        'image' => '<img class="img" src="papaya.jpg">',
        'name' => 'Papaya',
        'description'=> 'Color: Yellow',
      ),

  array(
    'image' => '<img class="img" src="blueberry.jpg">',
    'name' => 'Blueberry',
    'description'=> 'Color: Blue',
  ),

  array(
    'image' => '<img class="img" src="orange.jpg">',
    'name' => 'Orange',
    'description'=> 'Color: Orange',
  ),
);
array_multisort($fruits['name'], SORT_ASC);

I wanted the output to be like this:

Image	Name	Description
pic	Blueberry	Color: Blue
pic	Orange	Color: Orange
pic	Papaya	Color: Yellow

Have you tried using usort with a custom callback?

Try to use usort function with appropriate callback function. You can do it like this.

$fruits = array(
    array(
        'image' => '<img class="img" src="papaya.jpg">',
        'name' => 'Papaya',
        'description' => 'Color: Yellow',
    ),

    array(
        'image' => '<img class="img" src="blueberry.jpg">',
        'name' => 'Blueberry',
        'description' => 'Color: Blue',
    ),

    array(
        'image' => '<img class="img" src="orange.jpg">',
        'name' => 'Orange',
        'description' => 'Color: Orange',
    ),
);

function cmp($a, $b)
{
    return strcmp($a["name"], $b["name"]);
}


usort($fruits, "cmp");
