I need help figuring out what I am doing wrong and/or if there is a better way to do it, my question is two part. The first part is I am using Joomla 3.5.1 and in the template I have two fieldsets, one that allows the user to enter links to their social media accounts and the second I am attempting to make a sort if you will using a set of drop downs. This may or may not be the best so I am open to options here.
Now for the second part. I am able to bring in the both field sets into separate arrays, for simplicity array 1 and array 2. Array 1 has the links and array 2 has the order. So my question is this, how would be the best way to loop through and match everything up while removing the empties in array 1 and "none" in array 2.
One thought I did have is should array 2 not be multidimensional and let the key be the "soXYZ", but then how would the best way to match it up knowing that the lengths are different and the order as well.
Array 2 where (-1) are "None" in the drop downs
