Example 1: sort array of array php

sort() //sort arrays in ascending order
rsort() //sort arrays in descending order
asort() //sort associative arrays in ascending order, according to the value
ksort() //sort associative arrays in ascending order, according to the key
arsort() //sort associative arrays in descending order, according to the value
krsort() //sort associative arrays in descending order, according to the key
  
//Example
  $array = array(1, 3, 2);
  sort($array) //1, 2, 3

Example 2: php sort by associative array value

foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
    echo "$key = $val\n";
}

//Would output:
c = apple
b = banana
d = lemon
a = orange

<?php

$fruits = array("lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple");

Example 6: php array sort by key value

To PHP sort array by key, you should use: 
	ksort() (for ascending order) or krsort() (for descending order). 
      
To PHP sort array by value, you will need functions:
	asort() and arsort() (for ascending and descending orders).
