Sort The Array Before Outputting The Data
I do a SQL query and normally just do a "while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($sql))" and echo the output. What I want to do now is to sort the array before outputting the data, to get it in the correct order.
I cannot just sort the data in the SQL query as I have to sort a column containing data in the format of "Firstname1 Lastname1 and Firstname2 Lastname2" and the sorting for that column has to be sorted by Lastname1 ASC. I figure this is somehow done using a sort array command but I am very lost on how to do achieve this sorting.

I want to collect all the data from the form (regardless of what it is) and save it as an array which I can use.

Array_multisort - How To Create A New Array For Data And Sort It.
I have some code that retrieves a list of dealers. I need to sort thsi list on a field that doesn't exist in the tables. Distance from customer will be the field (I have a function for this). I can calculate this but once I get the distance how do I resort the list in ascending order by distance. The code below displays all the dealers but not the closest one first. It is pretty random. Like I said I know how to calculate the distance but don't know how to create a new array for this data and sort it. Here is some pseudo code that I am using ...

Outputting Data In Categories
I'm trying to organize some data into categories. Lets say for example we have this: while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $data1 = $row["field1"]; $data2 = $row["field2"]; $data3 = $row["field3"]; $data4 = $row["category"]; echo $data4?><br><?php; echo $data1,$data2,$data3?><br><?php; } Which would have a sample output like this: Category1 Field1Field2Field3 Category1 Field1Field2Field3 Category2 Field1Field2Field3 Category2 Field1Field2Field3 How would I get it to print the category name once, then everything belonging to that category, then move to the next category, etc. So it'd look like this: Category1 Field1Field2Field3 Field1Field2Field3 Category2 Field1Field2Field3 Field1Field2Field3 That's the simplest way I can think of putting it. :) Seems to me like it'd be an easy answer, but I've tried a couple of different approaches and can't seem to get it to work.

The problem i'm having is getting the data to output into columns. I'm sure it has a simple solution but it's eluding me.

Sorting Sql Results In An Array Using Things Outside The Array To Sort Them?
I'm using PHP to connect to a database full of place names, and their associated post codes, latitude and longitude on the earth. A user types his or her post code into a form, plus a distance (in miles), and the script looks for other area codes (first half of the post code) within that distance. I can do that fine, but the results are ordered alphabetically by postcode, and I want to order it by the distance. Problem here, is that the distance isn't part of the array taken from the database, it takes the latitude and longitude of the area it's on in the while loop, and calculates the distance between the user's post code and that one, but it's not part of the array, so I can't sort the array using it. How can I sort it? Can I add the calculated distances to the array, and sort it using sort()? If yes, how do I add them to the array? Here's the page, just to explain better what the script does: http://navimaker.org/ed/owain/results.php?postcode=gl15&distance=34 Mess around with the postcode and distance vars. I'd put the source on here too but I'm doing all this over SSH and can't copy & paste very easily .
