Please someone help me how to sort dates in array
i have array called $cont_history and it is a multi dimensional array, so now i need to sort this array by KEY VALUE (DATE)
$cont_history = Array (
[20-02-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE IN', [by] => '', [location] => 'COLOMBO, [depot] => 'CNLS' )
[15-03-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE OUT', [by] => '', [location] => 'COLOMBO, [depot] => 'CNLS' )
[18-03-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE IN', [by] => '', [location] => 'CHENNAI, [depot] => 'GOBAL')
[05-04-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE OUT', [by] => '', [location] => 'CHENNAI, [depot] => 'GOBAL')
[10-04-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE IN', [by] => '', [location] => 'MUMBAI, [depot] => 'CONS' )
[13-05-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE OUT', [by] => '', [location] => 'MUMBAI, [depot] => 'CONS' )
[10-02-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'Container Bought', [by] => 'CARU', [location] => 'COLOMBO', [depot] => 'CNLS' )
[07-05-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'Container Sold', [by] => 'TCPL', [location] => 'MUMBAI', [depot] => 'CONS' )
)
after sorting the array this is what output i am expecting,
$cont_history = Array (
[20-02-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE IN', [by] => '', [location] => 'COLOMBO, [depot] => 'CNLS' )
[15-03-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE OUT', [by] => '', [location] => 'COLOMBO, [depot] => 'CNLS' )
[18-03-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE IN', [by] => '', [location] => 'CHENNAI, [depot] => 'GOBAL')
[05-04-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE OUT', [by] => '', [location] => 'CHENNAI, [depot] => 'GOBAL')
[10-04-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE IN', [by] => '', [location] => 'MUMBAI, [depot] => 'CONS' )
[07-05-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'Container Sold', [by] => 'TCPL', [location] => 'MUMBAI', [depot] => 'CONS' )
[13-05-2015] => Array ( [activity] => 'GATE OUT', [by] => '', [location] => 'MUMBAI, [depot] => 'CONS' )
)
