I currently have a ul list that looks like this:
<ul id="primary-nav">
<li class="navButton" id="amps_off_button" data-order="6">
<span class="navButton-color red"><p>AMPS Off</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="amps_alarms" data-order="7">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>AMPS Alarms</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="sysConfig" data-order="3">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>System Configuration</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span></li>
<li class="navButton" id="system" data-order="4">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>System</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="backBtn" data-order="100">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>BACK</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="rescan" data-order="101">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>ReScan</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
</ul>
In my Navigation class, I have a function that can be called that will sort the order of the unordered list by the value in data-order:
public function setOrder() {
$liNodeList = $this->xpath->query("//ul[@id='primary-nav']//li");
$liNodes = iterator_to_array($liNodeList);
usort($liNodes, array('Navigation', 'sortListByOrderAttr'));
if ($liNodeList->length == count($liNodes)) {
for ($i = 0; $i < $liNodeList->length; $i++) {
$node = $liNodeList->item($i);
$newNode = $liNodes[$i];
$node->parentNode->replaceChild($newNode, $node);
}
}
else echo "error";
}
private static function sortListByOrderAttr($a, $b) {
return (int) $a->getAttribute('data-order') - (int) $b->getAttribute('data-order');
}
For some reason, I am not getting the correct order of the list. Instead, the output shows 4 items instead of the 6 items it's supposed to show:
<ul id="primary-nav">
<li class="navButton" id="amps_off_button" data-order="6">
<span class="navButton-color red"><p>AMPS Off</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="amps_alarms" data-order="7">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>AMPS Alarms</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="backBtn" data-order="100">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>BACK</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
<li class="navButton" id="rescan" data-order="101">
<span class="navButton-color"><p>ReScan</p></span>
<span class="glare"></span>
</li>
</ul>
I suspect my problem here is that my $node->parentNode->replaceChild($newNode, $node);
is no es bueno. Maybe I need a different approach to sort this? Help appreciated!
