I have an associative array like this
Array
(
["News 1"] => Array
(
[text] => tests
[language] =>
[advertiserCompetitionScale] => 5
[avgSearchVolume] => 7480000
[lastMonthSearchVolume] => 9140000
)
["News 2"] => Array
(
[text] => personality tests
[language] =>
[advertiserCompetitionScale] => 5
[avgSearchVolume] => 165000
[lastMonthSearchVolume] => 201000
)
["News 3] => Array
(
[text] => online tests
[language] =>
[advertiserCompetitionScale] => 5
[avgSearchVolume] => 246000
[lastMonthSearchVolume] => 301000
)
)
I managed to sort it by the column i want (LastMonthSearchVolume for example)
// compare function
function cmpi($a, $b)
{
return strcmp($a["lastMonthSearchVolume"], $b["lastMonthSearchVolume"]);
}
// do the array sorting
usort($latest_array, 'cmpi');
The problem is when i dump the array to see the result the usort broke my associative array by removing "News 1", "News 2" etc.. and replacing it by 0,1,2...
Is there any solution to make sort keep the column name ?
Thanks
