Cagecrawler Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 asort() can order the elements by their values, but you don't really need to do this. If each table only has one value, then just loop through the array and for each table only print out the people with the relevant group ID. //eg. for workers foreach($people as $person => $group){ if($group == 1) echo $person; } Actual implementation depends on how the data is stored etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
