smarty-3.1.33

Hello. I am wondering if there is a later version of Smarty, and if so - Does it contain a BUILT IN sort function for arrays? (the last i saw there was no built-in function).

Ive got an array with

- TOP LEVEL,
-- SECOND LEVEL.

each element of TOP LEVEL contains 1 or more SECOND LEVEL items, which i want to sort within the template.

Is this possible in the latest version ?

Scanning all the Smarty code for 'sort' produced two results that pertain to sorting the names of the assigned variables that will eventually display in the debug popup window.

So, I think there is no Smarty-developed sorting function.

If your array is something like:

$myArray: array(
array('a','b','c'),
array('b','c','d'),
...
)

That is, an array(s) of arrays, then maybe iterate through the first dimension, using a PHP function to sort each second dimension.

But I cannot find any BUILT-IN sorting function within the core Smarty package.

Found it - Include this before you do FOREACH (in template)

{$tmp = ksort($list)}

$list is the array you are foreaching (is that a word)
