I have an array with IDs that looks like
JavaScript
x
$order_ids = array(8,9,10,4,7);
and another multidimensional array that looks like
JavaScript
array(
0 => array(
0 => 4, // order id
1 => 23 // item_id
2 => 1 // qty
),
1 => array(
0 => 9, // order id
1 => 66 // item_id
2 => 4 // qty
),
2 => array(
0 => 8, // order id
1 => 17 // item_id
2 => 3 // qty
),
)
i tried
JavaScript
$keys = array_flip($order_ids);
usort($multiarray, function($a, $b) use($keys)
{
return $keys[$a] - $keys[$b[0];
});
The order_ids of the 2nd array correspond to the values in the first array. What I need to do is sort the 2nd array by the order_ids in the order they are in the 1st array.

Answer
You could cycle through the records in $arr
and store them in the order set by $order_ids
– result in $newArr
:
JavaScript
<?php
$order_ids = array(8,9,10,4,7);
$arr = [
[4, 23, 1],
[9, 66, 4],
[8, 17, 3],
];
foreach($order_ids as $id) {
foreach($arr as $record) {
if($record[0] == $id) {
$newArr[] = $record;
break;
}
}
}
