I have the following JSON:
[{
"id":"1",
"testimony":"I recently went to Perceptive Mind on behalf of a client to get assistance in the web-development of an online invoicing system.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe work they did for me was done quickly and with great care. What I found most notable about Perceptive Mind was that it worked with my budget, I didn't feel overcharged and had plenty of tech support and communication throughout the project.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI will definitely be using Perceptive Mind in the future!",
"author":"Miles Hellyer",
"title":"Founder",
"company":"Chalk Marketing",
"sort_order":"200"
},
{
"id":"2",
"testimony":"Just like to thank Nick for\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\this outstanding and professional work, he has created a great website\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhich suits our needs. He was efficient, helpful and very\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfriendly! Definitely would recommend using his services",
"author":"Jennifer Mouhaweg",
"title":"Manager",
"company":"The Lockout Guys",
"sort_order":"400"
}]
And here's my code to decode that JSON and put it into a PHP array:
$testimonials_array;
$testimonials_table_json = json_decode(file_get_contents('../app/database/testimonials.JSON'),true);
foreach($testimonials_table_json as $row) {
$testimonial = $this->model('TestimonialModel');
$testimonial->testimony = $row['testimony'];
$testimonial->author = $row['author'];
$testimonial->title = $row['title'];
$testimonial->company = $row['company'];
$testimonials_array[] = $testimonial;
}
return $testimonials_array;
My question is, if I add in a $testimonial->sort_order= $row['sort_order']; can I use that to sort the $testimonial array? And is there a way to sort it before the foreach loop?
