That almost worked. I did an arsort() and got the following:
Array
(
[Guy, Matt] => Array
(
[0] => 164.67
[1] => 135.67
)
[Smith, Toby] => Array
(
[0] => 159.33
[1] => 132.33
)
[Young, Matt] => Array
(
[0] => 157.67
[1] => 131.67
)
[Shobe, Dale ] => Array
(
[0] => 157.67
[1] => 128.67
)
[King, Derrick] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 126.67
)
[Reynolds, Jeff] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 133.67
)
[Bobo, Tom] => Array
(
[0] => 152.33
[1] => 124.33
)
[Henderson, Cody] => Array
(
[0] => 150.33
[1] => 121.33
)
[McGuffin, Jimmy] => Array
(
[0] => 145.67
[1] => 118.67
)
[Stone, Richard] => Array
(
[0] => 145
[1] => 119.00
)
[Biggerstaff, David ] => Array
(
[0] => 142.33
[1] => 115.33
)
[Dennis, Daymon] => Array
(
[0] => 142
[1] => 114.00
)
[Bush, Duke] => Array
(
[0] => 141
[1] => 121.00
)
}
That's not the entire array but it sorts just fine except for two entries. For
some reason these two aren't sorting in descending order of the second element:
[King, Derrick] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 126.67
)
[Reynolds, Jeff] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 133.67
)
Everything else sorts just fine. I'm not sure why that is.
Thanks!
