按价值排序多维数组 - 然后赔率平均

Question

I'm working with multi-dimensional arrays. Each array consists of properties along a street and one of the values is street address.

I'd like to order the arrays such that for each street, the odd addresses are listed before the even addresses. It's already ordered numerically (lowest to highest), so the only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to order the odds before the evens.

$array = array(
    array('apn' => 345345345, 'sqft' => 1200, 'address' => '323 Pacific Ave.'),
    array('apn' => 345345342, 'sqft' => 1421, 'address' => '324 Pacific Ave.'),
    array('apn' => 345345346, 'sqft' => 1012, 'address' => '325 Pacific Ave.'),
    array('apn' => 345345347, 'sqft' => 1093, 'address' => '328 Pacific Ave.'),
    array('apn' => 345345353, 'sqft' => 1121, 'address' => '12 Lincoln Ave.'),
    array('apn' => 345345351, 'sqft' => 1643, 'address' => '13 Lincoln Ave.'),
    array('apn' => 345345352, 'sqft' => 1222, 'address' => '14 Lincoln Ave.')
);

Currently I have the following:

usort($array, function($a, $b)
{
    if ($a['address'] % 2 == $b['address'] % 2) {
        if ($a['address'] == $b['address']) {
            return 0;
        }
        return ($a['address'] < $b['address']) ? -1 : 1;
    }    
    return ($a['address'] % 2 == 0) ? 1 : -1;
});

The problem is that it results in all the odds listed before all the evens, rather than all the odds of each street before the eves for that street, as follows:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345341
            [sqft] => 1001
            [address] => 13 Lincoln Ave.
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345341
            [sqft] => 1001
            [address] => 12 Lincoln Ave.
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345341
            [sqft] => 1001
            [address] => 14 Lincoln Ave.
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345345
            [sqft] => 1200
            [address] => 323 Pacific Ave.
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345341
            [sqft] => 1001
            [address] => 325 Pacific Ave.
        )

    [5] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345342
            [sqft] => 1421
            [address] => 324 Pacific Ave.
        )

    [6] => Array
        (
            [apn] => 345345341
            [sqft] => 1001
            [address] => 328 Pacific Ave.
        )

)

Answer 1

So that will be:

usort($array, function($x, $y)
{
   $x = preg_split('/^(\d+)\s+(.*)/', $x['address'], -1 , 3);
   $y = preg_split('/^(\d+)\s+(.*)/', $y['address'], -1 , 3);
   $x[2] = $x[0] % 2;
   $y[2] = $y[0] % 2;
   if($x[1]==$y[1]) //first level: streets
   {
      if($x[2]==$y[2]) //second level: oddity
         return $x[0]<$y[0]?-1:$x[0]!=$y[0]; //third level: numeric order
      return $x[2]>$y[2]?-1:1;
   }
   return $x[1]<$y[1]?-1:1;
});

Note, your difficulty is because you have, actually, 3 levels of sorting:

• First level: streets. You want streets will be top-level of sorting in resulting array
• Second level: oddity. You want odd numbers will be before even
• Third level: natural numeric order - inside same oddity, you want numbers will be sorted in natural order

Fiddle is available here. Also, preg_split() may be not the best solution to separate number and street, but I wasn't sure about common situation. A little explanation for there, -1 means "no limit for elements in result" and 3 means PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY (check the link I've provided for more details).
