Sorting an array using "points"

Question

I need to sort an array to make a rank by points but I can't make it work correctly..

function cmp($a, $b)
{
    return strcmp($a->points, $b->points);
}
usort($teamList, "cmp");  
foreach($teamList as $r)
{
    echo $r->name . " " . $r->points. "<br>";
}

I got this with this code: randomteam*-100 randomteam* -12 randomteam* -12.5 randomteam* -15 randomteam* -15.5 randomteam* -15.5

Each randomteam is a different team

Please, provide an array example – user4035 Dec 14 '13 at 23:10 — user4035, Dec 14 '13 at 23:10

You are comparing your items as strings. In string terms, -12.5 is less than -15 (because 2 is less than 5 and everything up to there is equal.

Instead, just use return $a->points - $b->points;.
