sort array by key value php code example

Example 1: php sort array by key

$weight = [
    'Pete' => 75, 
    'Benjamin' => 89,
    'Jonathan' => 101
  ];  	
  ksort($weight);

Example 2: php sort array by value and keep key

$weight = [
    'Pete' => 75,
    'Benjamin' => 309,
    'Jonathan' => 101
];
asort($weight);
/*
weight is now:
Array
(
    [Pete] => 75
    [Jonathan] => 101
    [Benjamin] => 309
)
To sort descending instead use: arsort
*/

Example 3: 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).

Example 4: php order array by specific key

function cmp($a, $b)
    {
        return strcmp($a->display_name, $b->display_name);
    }

    usort($blogusers, "cmp");

    foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser)
    {
        ...
