Sorting an array of threads

[mcahill]

I need to merge two separate arrays of threads to replace the normal stuff on forumhome.

I have an array, $threadbits and an array $global_threadbits, and I need to merge them and display by last posttime descending.

PHP Code:


$threadbit = $threadbit . $global_threadbit; 


I need an array_multisort that will use the lastposttime key descending. Anyone have any ideas? I've been pounding on this for hours.

Thanks,

Mark

Could you post the array's structure?

PHP Code:

print_r($threadbit);

That would be the problem. Attempts to show the vbulletin threadbit array as used in the showforums page doesn't give us the dimensions of the array, only a formatted output.

PHP Code:

So I have spent the better part of the day on this with no results. I have found no way to get the dimensions of the array, since vbulletin is not allowing me to do array_keys either in the product I am developing with or via the page source code. I can do print_r and that's it.

So I need to either know what the keys are named in the threadbit array on forumdisplay.php, or I need to find a way to output the keys.

ANy help appreciated...

Run this in your plugin.

PHP Code:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($threadbit);
echo '</pre>';
exit; 


[mcahill]

Same results. I'm beginning to think they don't want me messing with the order of threads...

I was asking for the result of print_r().
