PHP Sort Array By SubArray Value

by

Use usort.

function cmp_by_optionNumber($a, $b) {
  return $a["optionNumber"] - $b["optionNumber"];
}

...

usort($array, "cmp_by_optionNumber");

In PHP ≥5.3, you should use an anonymous function instead:

usort($array, function ($a, $b) {
    return $a['optionNumber'] - $b['optionNumber'];
});

Note that both code above assume $a['optionNumber'] is an integer. Use @St. John Johnson’s solution if they are strings.

In PHP ≥7.0, use the spaceship operator <=> instead of subtraction to prevent overflow/truncation problems.

usort($array, function ($a, $b) {
    return $a['optionNumber'] <=> $b['optionNumber'];
});
