asort

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

asort — Ordina un array e mantiene le associazioni degli indici

Descrizione

asort(array $array, int $sort_flags = ?): bool

Questa funzione ordina un array in modo tale che i suoi indici mantengano la loro correlazione con gli elementi ai quali sono associati. Viene usata principalmente nell'ordinamento degli array associativi, quando la disposizione originaria degli elementi è importante.

Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.

Example #1 esempio di asort()

<?php
$frutta = array("d"=>"limone", "a"=>"arancia", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"mela");
asort($frutta);
reset($frutta);
while (list($chiave, $valore) = each($frutta)) {
    echo "$chiave = $valore\n";
}
?>

Questo esempio mostrerà:

a = arancia
b = banana
d = limone
c = mela

I frutti sono ordinati in ordine alfabetico, e l'indice associato ad ogni elemento è stato mantenuto.

È possibile modificare il comportamento dell'ordinamento usando il parametro opzionale sort_flags, per maggiori dettagli vedere sort().

This function can be used to sort multidimensional arrays with almost no work whatsoever by using the individual values within the custom sort function.

This function passes the entire child element even if it is not a string. If it is an array, as would be the case in multidimensional arrays, it will pass the whole child array as one parameter.

Therefore, do something elegant like this:

<?php
     // Sort the multidimensional array
     usort($results, "custom_sort");
     // Define the custom sort function
     function custom_sort($a,$b) {
          return $a['some_sub_var']>$b['some_sub_var'];
     }
?>

This does in 4 lines what other functions took 40 to 50 lines to do. This does not require you to create temporary arrays or anything. This is, for me, a highly preferred solution.

Hope it helps!

This is a function to sort an indexed 2D array by a specified sub array key, either ascending or descending.

It is usefull for sorting query results from a database by a particular field after the query has been returned

This function can be quite greedy. It recreates the array as a hash to use ksort() then back again

By default it will sort ascending but if you specify $reverse as true it will return the records sorted descending 

<?php

function record_sort($records, $field, $reverse=false)
{
    $hash = array();
    
    foreach($records as $record)
    {
        $hash[$record[$field]] = $record;
    }
    
    ($reverse)? krsort($hash) : ksort($hash);
    
    $records = array();
    
    foreach($hash as $record)
    {
        $records []= $record;
    }
    
    return $records;
}

// Example below

$airports = array
(
    array( "code" => "LHR", "name" => "Heathrow" ),
    array( "code" => "LGW", "name" => "Gatwick" ),
);

printf("Before: <pre>%s</pre>", print_r($airports, true));

$airports = record_sort($airports, "name");

printf("After: <pre>%s</pre>", print_r($airports, true));

?>

Example Outputs:

Before: Array
(
    [0] => Array ( [code] => LHR, [name] => Heathrow )
    [1] => Array ( [code] => LGW, [name] => Gatwick )
)

After: Array
(
    [0] => Array ( [code] => LGW, [name] => Gatwick )
    [1] => Array ( [code] => LHR, [name] => Heathrow )
)

For a recent project I needed to sort an associative array by value first, and then by key if a particular value appeared multiple times. I wrote this function to accomplish the task. Note that the parameters default to sort ascending on both keys and values, but allow granular control over each.

<?php
function aksort(&$array,$valrev=false,$keyrev=false) {
  if ($valrev) { arsort($array); } else { asort($array); }
    $vals = array_count_values($array);
    $i = 0;
    foreach ($vals AS $val=>$num) {
        $first = array_splice($array,0,$i);
        $tmp = array_splice($array,0,$num);
        if ($keyrev) { krsort($tmp); } else { ksort($tmp); }
        $array = array_merge($first,$tmp,$array);
        unset($tmp);
        $i = $num;
    }
}

// Example
$tmp = array('ca'=>1,'cb'=>2,'ce'=>1,'pa'=>2,'pe'=>1);

// Standard asort
asort($tmp);
print_r($tmp);

// Sort value ASC, key ASC
aksort($tmp);
print_r($tmp);

// Sort value DESC, key ASC
aksort($tmp,true);
print_r($tmp);

// Sort value DESC, key DESC
aksort($tmp,true,true);
print_r($tmp);

// Results
Array
(
    [pe] => 1
    [ca] => 1
    [ce] => 1
    [cb] => 2
    [pa] => 2
)
Array
(
    [ca] => 1
    [ce] => 1
    [pe] => 1
    [cb] => 2
    [pa] => 2
)
Array
(
    [cb] => 2
    [pa] => 2
    [ca] => 1
    [ce] => 1
    [pe] => 1
)
Array

    [pa] => 2
    [cb] => 2
    [pe] => 1
    [ce] => 1
    [ca] => 1

        if (strlen ($s1) > strlen ($s2)) {

                $temp = $s1;

                $s1 = $s2;

                $s2 = $temp;

                $order = 0;

        }



        for ($index = 0; $index < strlen ($s1); $index++) {

        }

 

        /**

         ** Special case in which $s1 is a substring of $s2

        return ($order);

}

acecream's function works fine, especially with the spectre extension.

nevertheless sometimes the index values have to be kept. To achieve this, just replace:

$sorted_arr[] = $array[$arr_key];  

with:

$sorted_arr[$arr_key] = $array[$arr_key];

Small typo in the aksort function I just submitted. Here's the entire thing again, with the correction noted:

  $vals = array_count_values($array);
    $i = 0;
    foreach ($vals AS $val=>$num) {
        $first = array_splice($array,0,$i);
        $tmp = array_splice($array,0,$num);
        if ($keyrev) { krsort($tmp); } else { ksort($tmp); }

Nevermind... use my last note as a quick tip: if you wish to keep the keys, use asort() and arsort() in place of sort() and rsort().

asort has one anoying feature, it ignores any default or implicit order in the data.  i.e. if two elements of an array contain "banana" then it is not garanteed that the first will still be the first after the sort.

This makes the Burrows-Wheeler block sort a bit of a pain to impliment, with a trailing string having to be appended to all strings before sorting, and removed after sorting. To maintain the so called "banana" order.

This is a fixed version of the same function I posted below. Now it will handle duplicate entries in the sorted field. EG: If there were two records that had the name Heathrow it would still work. 

<?php

function record_sort($records, $field, $reverse=false)
{
    $hash = array();
    
    foreach($records as $key => $record)
    {
        $hash[$record[$field].$key] = $record;
    }
    
    ($reverse)? krsort($hash) : ksort($hash);
    
    $records = array();
    
    foreach($hash as $record)
    {
        $records []= $record;
    }
    
    return $records;
}

Advanced sort array by second index function, which produces ascending (default) or descending output and uses optionally natural case insensitive sorting (which can be optionally case sensitive as well).
Only the first two arguments are required.

<?php

function sabsi ($array, $index, $order='asc', $natsort=FALSE, $case_sensitive=FALSE) {
  if(is_array($array) && count($array)>0) {
    foreach(array_keys($array) as $key) $temp[$key]=$array[$key][$index];
    if(!$natsort) ($order=='asc')? asort($temp) : arsort($temp);
    else {
      ($case_sensitive)? natsort($temp) : natcasesort($temp);
      if($order!='asc') $temp=array_reverse($temp,TRUE);
    }
    foreach(array_keys($temp) as $key) (is_numeric($key))? $sorted[]=$array[$key] : $sorted[$key]=$array[$key];
    return $sorted;
  }
  return $array;

Here's my version of sorting multi-dimensional array by 2nd index.

Feel free to change the code to suit your needs.



<?php

function aSortBySecondIndex($multiArray, $secondIndex) {

    while (list($firstIndex, ) = each($multiArray))

        $indexMap[$firstIndex] = $multiArray[$firstIndex][$secondIndex];

    asort($indexMap);

    while (list($firstIndex, ) = each($indexMap))

        if (is_numeric($firstIndex))

            $sortedArray[] = $multiArray[$firstIndex];

        else $sortedArray[$firstIndex] = $multiArray[$firstIndex];

    return $sortedArray;

}

Here's one I whipped up to allow you to sort an array of a specific class by a member or function:



<?php

// Sort a class by one of its members (even lowercase!!!)

function casort($arr, $var) {

   $tarr = array();

   $rarr = array();

   for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) {

      $element = $arr[$i];

      $tarr[] = strtolower($element->{$var});

   }



   reset($tarr);

   asort($tarr);

   $karr = array_keys($tarr);

   for($i = 0; $i < count($tarr); $i++) {

      $rarr[] = $arr[intval($karr[$i])];

   }



   return $rarr;

}

?>



It works very well. For example, I have a Room class with members title, isActive(), date, etc. I can sort an array by casort($rooms, "title") or casort($rooms, "isActive()") and it'll work.

'asort' is fine for sorting arrays in English, but if accented characters exist in the array then it is better to use the 'asort' method of PHP's Collator class:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.collator.php

$collator = new \Collator('fr_CA');
$collator->asort($french_list);

There are options for using `setlocale()` to control `asort` behaviour, but it isn't reliable across systems.
For instance, in my development environment I only have access to the following locals:

$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

"This function sorts an array such that array indices maintain their correlation with the array elements they are associated with."

Note this sentence in the description has a quite important implication especially when you're working with an originally non-indexed (or say integer-indexed) array and JSON encoding/decoding.
I'm not reporting this as a bug, because the end result does fit into the description.

<?php

$myArray = ['small_image', 'image'];
var_dump(json_encode($myArray)); // string(23) "["small_image","image"]"
var_dump(is_object($myArray)); // bool(false)

asort($myArray);
$myJson = json_encode($myArray);
var_dump($myJson); // string(31) "{"1":"image","0":"small_image"}"
var_dump(is_object($myArray)); // bool(false)

/*
 * class stdClass#1 (2) {
 *     public $1 =>
 *     string(5) "image"
 *     public $0 =>
 *     string(11) "small_image"
 * }
 */
var_dump(json_decode($myJson));

It is obviously necessary to log the keys used as so we don't overwrite previous entries in the array ;o)



N.B. this also effects the timings, but still faster than the alternatives : 



     * int : 0.00159    (ms)

     * str : 0.00092    (ms)



<?php

private function _keySort(Array $data)

Ok I was mistaken, after re-reading the previous post the ".$key" is important. What caused the sorting issue for me wasn't that at all. But rather something else.
doing an: asort($records, $flags); before returning fixes the sorting problems.
The sorting problem I was refearing to causes a character based sorting done on numeric data.
so instead of:
1
2
3
...
10
12
20
It was returned back as
1
10
12
2
20
3
...
basically what I was trying to fix in the first place.

i made this sample multi dimensional array sort to someone who needed to read lines from a text file instead of using sql - order by statement.

the idea is to take the key and sort(order) the specific column and then order the entire of the array as the selected column asort returned.

<?php

# SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically
# SORT_STRING - compare items as strings

$sort_by = SORT_REGULAR;

/*
# 0 - order by name column
# 1 - order by age column
# 2 - order by rank column
# 3 - order by color column
*/
$order_by = 1;

// source file
$line_of_text[1] = 'a1name|f2age|h3rank|jcolor';
$line_of_text[2] = 'b1name|d2age|i3rank|k4color';
$line_of_text[0] = 'c1name|e2age|g3rank|l4color';

// make array
for ($x=0; $x<=2; $x++)
{
    $line = explode('|',$line_of_text[$x]);

    // save it by coulmns otherwise it will saved like rows
    for ($i=0; $i<=3; $i++) {
          $foo[$i][$x] = $line[$i];
    }
}

// get the key order
$a = $foo[$order_by];

// sort
asort($a, $sort_by);

// start print
echo "<table cellpudding=0 cellspacing=0 border=1>\n";
        echo "<tr>\n";
          echo "<td>key</td>\n";
          echo "<td>name</td>\n";

          echo "<td>color</td>\n";
        echo "</tr>\n";

// print by key order
foreach ($a as $k => $v) {
    echo "<tr>\n";
      echo "<td>$k</td>\n";
      // you can print here a for loop (0 to num of columns[=3])

      echo "<td>".$foo[3][$k]."</td>\n";
    echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";

that works nicely, tho it breaks the result-array up if one or more of arrays indexes are deleted before sorting. this one should fix it up:

change:
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($array); $i++) {

to:
foreach ($array as $i => $k) {

Well, actually, asort has *two* annoying features.



It works perfectly well sorting hashes (or associative arrays, as you might have it), but doggedly refuses to sort regular arrays maintaining index assocation. Kind've makes sense, but the docs don't explicitly say you can't do it.

On sorting by value first, then by key (cf., 2008-01-31 notes by mike at clear-link dot com):

What occurred to me to solve this problem was to extract the keys and values into separate arrays, then use array_multisort to get the desired order:

Ex:
<?php
$kvpairs = array('noun' => 'thought', 'animal' => 'fish', 'abstract' => 'thought', 'food' => 'fish', 'verb' => 'fish');
print "before:\n";
print_r($kvpairs);

// Essentially, one line of code is all that's needed for the sort:
array_multisort(array_values($kvpairs), array_keys($kvpairs), $kvpairs);

print "after:\n";
print_r($kvpairs);
?>

before:
Array
(
    [noun] => thought
    [animal] => fish
    [abstract] => thought
    [food] => fish
    [verb] => fish
)
after:
Array
(
    [animal] => fish
    [food] => fish
    [verb] => fish
    [abstract] => thought
    [noun] => thought
)

Of course, array_multisort allows you to specify sort order (SORT_ASC, SORT_DESC) and sort type (SORT_REGULAR, SORT_STRING, SORT_NUMERIC) for each array you pass it.

Similar to above but for an array of arrays instead of an array of objects.



<?php

function aasort($x,$var,$cmp='strcasecmp'){

  if ( is_string($var) ) $var = "\'$var\'";

  uasort($x,

    create_function('$a,$b',

      'return '.$cmp.'( $a['.$var.'],$b['.$var.']);')

  );

  return $x;

}

?>

I have written this function so its sort an multidimensional array with a specific key.

<?php
function sort_array($array, $sort_value, $reverse = false){
    $value = $result = array();
    
    foreach($array as $key => $rows){
        $value[$key] = strtolower($rows[$sort_value]);
    }
    
    if($reverse == true){
        arsort($value);
    }else{
        asort($value);
    }
    
    foreach($value as $keys => $null){
        $result[] = $array[$keys];
    }
    
    return $result;
}
?>

Examples

<?php

$array = array(array('a' => 'foo'), array('a' => 'foo4'), array('a' => 'foo2'), array('a' => 'foo3'));
print_r($array);
//Array ( [0] => Array ( [a] => foo ) [1] => Array ( [a] => foo4 ) [2] => Array ( [a] => foo2 ) [3] => Array ( [a] => foo3 ) )

print_r(sort_array($array, 'a'));
//Array ( [0] => Array ( [a] => foo ) [1] => Array ( [a] => foo2 ) [2] => Array ( [a] => foo3 ) [3] => Array ( [a] => foo4 ) )

print_r(sort_array($array, 'a', true));
//Array ( [0] => Array ( [a] => foo4 ) [1] => Array ( [a] => foo3 ) [2] => Array ( [a] => foo2 ) [3] => Array ( [a] => foo ) )

Dear mike at clear-link dot com!

I needed a case insensitive version of your function. It is still not perfect as I have to do something with country specific characters (öüóőúéáűíÖÜÓŐÚÉÁŰÍ)

function akisort(&$array,$valrev=false,$keyrev=false)
    {
    if ($valrev)
        {
        arsort($array);
        }
        else
        {
        asort($array);
        };
    $vals = array_count_values($array);
    $i = 0;
    foreach ($vals AS $val=>$num)
        {
        $first = array_splice($array,0,$i);
        $tmp = array_splice($array,0,$num);
        $tmp2 = array();
        foreach($tmp as $key => $value)
            {
            $tmp2[] = $key;
            $number = $value;
            };
        natcasesort($tmp2);
        reset($tmp2);
        print_r($tmp2);
        unset($tmp);
        foreach($tmp2 as $key => $value)
            {
            $tmp[$value] = $number;
            };
        if($keyrev)
            {
            $tmp = array_reverse($tmp, true);
            };
        $array = array_merge($first,$tmp,$array);
        unset($tmp);
        $i = $i+$num;
        };
};

I noticed that my function mentioned earlier is very misleading - somebody please delete that note!

This is how you sort:
<?php
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'czech');
$array = array("a", "č", "c");
usort ($array, 'strcoll');
print_r($array);
?>
