You can use the usort function for comparing the orders but the boolean needs to be converted in the comparison first. As for your criteria I have converted only for false value in the function.

$data = json_decode( $json , true );

$orders = [ 'live', 'finish', 'soon', 'false' ];

$orders = array_flip( $orders );

usort( $data['matches'], function ( $data1, $data2 ) use ($orders)
{
  $compare1 = is_bool( $data1['status'] ) ? var_export( $data1['status'], true) : $data1['status'];
  $compare2 = is_bool( $data2['status'] ) ? var_export( $data2['status'], true) : $data2['status'];
  
   return $orders [ $compare1 ] <=>  $orders [ $compare2 ] ;
});

var_dump($data);
