array_order_by
A PHP function to database-style order an array. I am not author of original function, it was taken from http://php.net/manual/ru/function.array-multisort.php
Install
Normal install via Composer.
Usage
Throw any array or object with the coordinates of the field you want to sort by:
$data = [];
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'edition' => 2);
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'edition' => 1);
$data[] = array('volume' => 85, 'edition' => 6);
$data[] = array('volume' => 98, 'edition' => 2);
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'edition' => 6);
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'edition' => 7);
// Pass the array, followed by the column names and sort flags
$sorted = array_order_by($data, 'volume', SORT_DESC, 'edition', SORT_ASC);
