I need to sort by timestamp the main array and also the childs arrays. Any suggesitons?

Answer 1

Try something like:

private function sort($sort) {

    foreach($sort as &$arr) { //use a reference because usort uses references to manipulate your array.
                            //if you don't pass by reference you'll never see the sort
        usort($arr, function($a, $b) { return $a['timestamp'] - $b['timestamp'];
    }

    usort($sort, function($a, $b) { return key($a) - key($b); }

    return $sort;

}

Use asort to sort associative arrays.
