I Have the following Array and I would like to sort it based on the $term = "geo" in relation only to [result_title] ?
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[result_title] => Agathoklis Georgiou
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[1] => Array
(
[result_title] => Frixos Georgiou
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[2] => Array
(
[result_title] => George Ellinas
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[3] => Array
(
[result_title] => Georgi Georgiev
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[4] => Array
(
[result_title] => Charalambos Georgiou
[result_subtext] => Former Employee
)
[5] => Array
(
[result_title] => Georgia Kantouna
[result_subtext] => Former Employee
)
)
The desired result should be:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[result_title] => George Ellinas
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[1] => Array
(
[result_title] => Georgi Georgiev
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[2] => Array
(
[result_title] => Georgia Kantouna
[result_subtext] => Former Employee
)
[3] => Array
(
[result_title] => Agathoklis Georgiou
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
[4] => Array
(
[result_title] => Charalambos Georgiou
[result_subtext] => Former Employee
)
[5] => Array
(
[result_title] => Frixos Georgiou
[result_subtext] => Active Employee
)
)
I have tried various methods such as:
usort($data, function($a, $b) use ($term) {
$x = strpos($a["result_title"], $term) === false;
$y = strpos($b["result_title"], $term) === false;
if ($x && !$y) return 1;
if ($y && !$x) return -1;
// use this if you want to sort alphabetically after the keyword sort:
return strcmp($a["result_title"], $b["result_title"]);
// or if you only want to sort by whether or not the keyword was found:
return 0;
});
and
usort($data, function ($a, $b) use ($term) {
similar_text($term, $a["result_title"], $percentA);
similar_text($term, $b["result_title"], $percentB);
return $percentA === $percentB ? 0 : ($percentA > $percentB ? -1 : 1);
});
and
usort($data, function ($a, $b) use ($term) {
$levA = levenshtein($term, $a["result_title"]);
$levB = levenshtein($term, $b["result_title"]);
return $levA === $levB ? 0 : ($levA > $levB ? 1 : -1);
});
and
usort($data, function($a, $b){ return $a["result_title"] - $b["result_title"]; });
and many more without any proper result. Or maybe I cannot understand the method to achieve my result?
I have also checked: php sorting an array based on a string and How to sort an array by similarity in relation to an inputted word. but the answers are giving me the result I'm looking for.

Here's a function that I think will do what you want. I've presumed you want to find the value of $term at the beginning of a word. This code extracts any keyword in the title which includes $term and then sorts based on whether the keyword was found, followed by the ordering of the keyword, or if they are both the same, on the title.
$term = 'geo';
usort($data, function ($a, $b) use ($term) {
// find the term in first entry
$t1 = preg_match("/^.*?b($termw*)b.*$/i", $a['result_title'], $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';
// find the term in second entry
$t2 = preg_match("/^.*?b($termw*)b.*$/i", $b['result_title'], $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';
// check if the terms were found
if ($t1 == '' && $t2 != '') return 1;
if ($t1 != '' && $t2 == '') return -1;
// found in both - if not the same, just sort on the keyword
if ($t1 != $t2) return strcmp($t1, $t2);
// found the same keyword, sort on the whole title
return strcmp($a['result_title'], $b['result_title']);
});
Since the output is long (it is what you asked for) I've omitted it but I've made a demo on 3v4l.org.

Would it make a difference if I set the term string to lower? There is some confusions for example

@jQuerybeast the way the code works it won't sort that way because'LIA' < 'Lia'. If you want it to be case-insensitive change thestrcmptostrcasecmp

Here's a function that I think will do what you want. I've presumed you want to find the value of $term at the beginning of a word. This code extracts any keyword in the title which includes $term and then sorts based on whether the keyword was found, followed by the ordering of the keyword, or if they are both the same, on the title.
$term = 'geo';
usort($data, function ($a, $b) use ($term) {
// find the term in first entry
$t1 = preg_match("/^.*?b($termw*)b.*$/i", $a['result_title'], $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';
// find the term in second entry
$t2 = preg_match("/^.*?b($termw*)b.*$/i", $b['result_title'], $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';
// check if the terms were found
if ($t1 == '' && $t2 != '') return 1;
if ($t1 != '' && $t2 == '') return -1;
// found in both - if not the same, just sort on the keyword
if ($t1 != $t2) return strcmp($t1, $t2);
// found the same keyword, sort on the whole title
return strcmp($a['result_title'], $b['result_title']);
});
Since the output is long (it is what you asked for) I've omitted it but I've made a demo on 3v4l.org.

Would it make a difference if I set the term string to lower? There is some confusions for example

@jQuerybeast I'm not sure what you mean by "set the term string to lower"?

@jQuerybeast the way the code works it won't sort that way because'LIA' < 'Lia'. If you want it to be case-insensitive change thestrcmptostrcasecmp

can you provide your source array as PHP code?
– Marcin Orlowski
Nov 10 at 22:16
@MarcinOrlowski you mean how the array is formed at first?
– jQuerybeast
Nov 10 at 22:23
it does not matter where it comes from. Make it in valid PHP array so I can try w/o wasting time to convert this data into code myself :)

Array ( [0] => Array ( [result_title] => Agathoklis Georgiou [result_subtext] => Active Employee ) [1] => Array ( [result_title] => Frixos Georgiou [result_subtext] => Active Employee ) [2] => Array ( [result_title] => George Ellinas [result_subtext] => Active Employee ) [3] => Array ( [result_title] => Georgi Georgiev [result_subtext] => Active Employee ) [4] => Array ( [result_title] => Charalambos Georgiou [result_subtext] => Former Employee ) )
