  Does Zikula have a built in multidimensional array sort function?

  That is also available in PHP, no reason for Zikula to supply it

  I guess I need more than that; judging by the number of comments suggesting alternatives there it looks like others need more too ;)
  
  Suppose I have an array of arrays; say, 30 "rows" of 10 "columns" each. I want a function in which I can pass the array and a primary, secondary, tertiary, etc sort column and have it return the results. There are such functions out there, I just thought it would be nice if there were an "approved" standard one for Zikula.
  
  If the ones you mention can do that, can you show me an example?

  BTW, usually for every PHP function there are loads of suggestions and enhancements
  But I see what you mean, I don't think there is anything like that in Zikula. So I can only suggest to pick one of the functions in the PHP array_multisort comments. Maybe some of the Core devs have a suggestion?
