PHP uasort没有排序数组

Question

I have an array of values ($arrayToSort) that is as follows

As well as my self defined sorting function

private function arraySort($a, $b) {
        if ($a == $b) {
            return 0;
        }
        return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
    }

When I call my sort function with the above dataset and function using uasort($arrayToSort,array('self','arraySort)); I get back my data in the exact same order. I have tried using my comparison functon with usort, and I get back the values sorted (albeit without the keys of course). For the life of me I cannot see why uasort is failing to sort these values when usort is capable of doing so. Am I calling the function incorrectly?

Answer 1

Your call to uasort seems wrong compared to the code you provided.

If you want to call uasort using a standalone callback, you should use uasort($array, 'arraySort');

If you want to call uasort from within an object instance, while the callback is an instance method, you should use uasort($array, array($this, 'arraySort')); (cause your method is private i assume THIS is the call you need)

If you want to call uasort from within an object instance, while the callback is a static method of the current class, then you should use uasort($arrayToSort,array('self','arraySort'));

Additionally you can simplify your sort method like this:

private function arraySort($a, $b) {  
    return strcmp($a, $b);
}

---

According to your answer, and assuming that the examples listed above are "strings", you need to split the values first, before sorting to get access to the actuall integer at the end of the string.

using uasort($array, array($this, 'arraySort')) in your class, along with

private function arraySort($a, $b) { 
    $intOfA = explode(":", $a);
    $intOfA = intval(trim($intOfA[1]));
    $intOfB = explode(":", $b);
    $intOfB = intval(trim($intOfB[1]));
    return $intOfA - $intOfB;
}

should do the trick.
