hello friends I have an array that looks like this:
array:3 [▼ 0 => array:6 [▼ "date" => "2016-05-31 15:08:33" 0 => "31 May 16" 1 => "aze" 2 => "2" 3 => "hi" 4 => "487841464704194.jpg" ] 1 => array:6 [▼ "date" => "2016-05-31 15:26:09" 0 => "31 May 16" 1 => "aze" 2 => "2" 3 => "hey" 4 => "487841464704194.jpg" ] 2 => array:6 [▼ "date" => "2016-06-01 11:33:06" 0 => "01 Jun 16" 1 => "aze" 2 => "2" 3 => "Dm me please" 4 => "487841464704194.jpg" ] ]
My goal is to sort it by the date
. So from new to old.
If tried this:
$comarrSorted = $comarr->sortByDesc('date'); dd($comarrSorted);
But I get this nasty error:
Call to a member function sortByDesc() on array
Anyone can help me out? I guess the error is caused because it’s a collection function? Is it not possible to sort my array with this function?
Many Thanks in advance!

Answer
you have to create your own function
array_sort_by_column($array, 'date'); function array_sort_by_column(&$array, $column, $direction = SORT_ASC) { $reference_array = array(); foreach($array as $key => $row) { $reference_array[$key] = $row[$column]; } array_multisort($reference_array, $direction, $array); }
