PHP - Easy Sort?

statez : I need to sort the results from the high score to the low score.

$query = "SELECT statez, COUNT(statez)FROM distributors GROUP BY statez"; 
$results = mysql_query($query);
$returnS="";
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
$returnS.= $line['COUNT(statez)'].",,".$line['statez'].",,,";

Hello. I have an object like this:

object->object_id
object->object_name
object->object_number

I have an array with many instances of the object, with different values. I want to sort that array to put first the object that the value of object->object_number is higher, and then descending. Please let me know if its not clear! thank you!

hi, is there a way to sort by column a, then by column b?

Hey guys,

I have got some events, and got it sorted by date, although at the moment the oldest date is showing first, and I would like to turn that around(new first old last), any simple suggestions?

Also another little question how would I turn a date row (for example 2009/5/31) into Tuesday - May 2009 or something similar, anyone can point me into the right direction?

ok so my problem is i need my data to be sorted by date which comes first.. how do i do it..can someone help me..if possible elaborate some codes? thxx..

so this is my program

Code: [Select]

<?
$b=$_GET['b'];
$m=$_GET['m'];
$y=$_GET['y'];

if  ($b <> '' && $m <> '' && $y <> '') {

$branch=$b;
$leavemonth=$m;
$leaveyear=$y;
}
else
{
$branch=$_POST['branch'];
$leavemonth=$_POST['leavemonth'];
$leaveyear=$_POST['leaveyear'];
}

Is there a way to use sort($Array) on numbers but reverse it. So instead of 1 to 3 itll do 3 to 1 ? AKA descending order?

Can't find a function that would do unless theres a second sort function ?

Thanks

Why does krsort return the array as "1"?

Code: [Select]
$m = array('34' => 1122, '6' => 1944, '9' => 1710);
print_r($m); //outputs: Array ( [34] => 1122 [6] => 1944 [9] => 1710 )
print_r(krsort($m)); //outputs: 1

What i need is the output to be

Array ( [6] => 1944 [9] => 1710 [34] => 1122)

SELECT domains_url, SUBSTRING(domains_url, 1, 1) AS letter
FROM a
INNER JOIN domains ON a_domain=domains_id
ORDER BY letter ASC, domains_url ASC

when I use this it will sort like   hello-world.co.uk hello-zulu.co.uk hello.co.uk   but I am hoping to get the hello first,   any ideas please?

Hi all   Going to try and explain this as best as I can.   I currently have a query that sorts a list of records by number of points, then wins, 2nd places, 3rd places etc, the query is as follows  

SELECT  COUNT( `points` ) AS `rides`, SUM( `points` ) AS `pts`, SUM(IF(`points`=3,1,0)) AS `wins`, SUM(IF(`points`=2,1,0)) AS `2`,
SUM(IF(`points`=1,1,0)) AS `1`, SUM(IF(`points`=0,1,0)) AS `0`,  rider_name
FROM tbl_heat
WHERE card_id = 38
GROUP BY `rider_name` 
ORDER BY pts DESC, wins desc, `2` desc, `1` desc, `0` desc
LIMIT 8

  this query has resulted in this result   '5','15','5','0','0','0','Jaroslaw Hampel'

I think I have to use arrays but I am not sure at all.

Can someone help me here?

hi,

i'm trying to sort an array of associative arrays, based on one of the keys.

if the value of the key is a primitive, normal sorting occurs - this works fine.

if the value of the key is an array, i'd like to have it sorted by "groups"

here's an example:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$data[] = array('name' => 'h', 'list' => array(1,2));
$data[] = array('name' => 'g', 'list' => array(1));
$data[] = array('name' => 'a', 'list' => array(1,3));
$data[] = array('name' => 'f', 'list' => array(2));
$data[] = array('name' => 'e', 'list' => array(2,3));
$data[] = array('name' => 'b', 'list' => array(3));
$data[] = array('name' => 'c', 'list' => array(1,2,3,4));
$data[] = array('name' => 'd', 'list' => array(3,4));

function deep_sort($array, $sorton){

usort($array, function($a, $b) use($sorton) {

$a = $a[$sorton];
$b = $b[$sorton];

if(is_array($a) && is_array($b)){

// this bit is obviously flawed - only included for illustrative purposes
$a = implode('', $a);
$b = implode('', $b);

}

return ($a == $b) ? 0 : ($a > $b) ? 1 : -1;

});

return $array;

}

$sorted_by_name = deep_sort($data, 'name');

print '<pre>';

print_r($sorted_by_name);

print '</pre>';

$sorted_by_list = deep_sort($data, 'list');

print '<pre>';

print_r($sorted_by_list);

print '</pre>';

?>
the sorted_by_name bit is fine - but for sorted_by_list, what i want returned is all the array ordered as follows:

all those with "1" (or the lowest if none have "1") in it's list value first, then all those remaining that have the next highest ("2"), etc.

so right now, the returns for sort_by_list look like this:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => g
            [list] => Array

        )

                (

                    [2] => 3
                    [3] => 4
                )

        )

TYIA for any suggestions

I have a PHP script that reads the image files in a folder and displays them for viewing.

When originally tested with three images, it seemed to be displaying them in alphabetical order by name (as desired).

Now, with more image files added, it is displaying the pictures in a seemingly random order.  Can I use a SORT command similar to the method for organizing data from a database in my script (to organize the files by name)?
