Sorting multidemensional array

Recommended Posts

I can't quite figure out how to sort this array the way I want.  I have tried "array_multisort" but can only get one demension to sort.

 

Here is the array...

 

$catagory = array(

array('Catagory 1', 8,

array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 1', 8),

array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 2', 9),

array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 3', 7),

array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 4', 6),

),

 

array('Catagory 2', 10,

array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 1', 6),

array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 2', 5),

array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 3', 9),

array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 4', 10),

),

  );

 

I would like the top catagories sorted in desending order and all the subcatagories sorted in desending order.  The result would sort like this...

 

Catagory 2  = 10

    Sub Catagory 2 Item 4 = 10

    Sub Catagory 2 Item 3 = 9

    Sub Catagory 2 Item 1 = 6

    Sub Catagory 2 Item 2 = 5

Catagory 1 = 8

    Sub Catagory 1 Item 2 = 9

    Sub Catagory 1 Item 1 = 8

    Sub Catagory 1 Item 3 = 7

    Sub Catagory 1 Item 4 = 6

 

How can I achieve this.  Thanks for any help.
