assuming its already sorted, you can simply halve the count of the array, and have two loops to go through them for each div. like

$arr = array(however your array is made and sorted);

$midPoint = ceil(count($arr)/2);//ceil to make a int
echo "<div id="left">
for ($i = 0; $i < $midPoint; $i++){
echo $arr[$i];
}
echo "</div>";

echo "<div id="right">
for ($i = $midpoint; $i < count($arr); $i++){
echo $arr[$i];
}
echo "</div>";

 

obviously you would need to change the output in my example to match what you desire.
