how to sort associative array by value in php code example

Example 1: php sort by associative array value

//php 7+
usort($inventory, function ($item1, $item2) {
    return $item1['price'] <=> $item2['price'];
});

Example 2: php sort array of array by key

$inventory = [
	['price' => 10.99, 'product' => 'foo 1'],
    ['price' => 5.99, 'product' => 'foo 2'],
  	['price' => 100, 'product' => 'foo 3'],
  
];

$price = array_column($inventory, 'price');

array_multisort($price, SORT_DESC, $inventory);

Example 3: sort array php

<?php
$fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
asort($fruits);
foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
    echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>
//Would output:
c = apple
b = banana
d = lemon
a = orange

Example 4: 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 5: array sort php

// array sort php
$room_details = array(
      "2020-09-27": [
                {
                    "content": "how are you",
