Or try the usort() function?
<?php
...
myArray[1][firstname] = "Joe";
myArray[1][lastname] = "Smith";
myArray[1][company] = "Bullock";
myArray[1][email] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
myArray[2][firstname] = "Jim";
myArray[2][lastname] = "Cords";
myArray[2][company] = "Jamen";
myArray[2][email] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
...
function companyCmp ($a, $b) {
return strcmp($a["company"],$b["company"]);
}
usort ($myArray, "companyCmp");
...
?>
