php sort multimentional array with numeric keys

I'm making an event calendar. Everything needs to be sorted chronologically.

This is the array I'm currently sorting:

$years = array(
    2018 => array(
        01 => array(),
        02 => array()
    ),
    2017 => array(,
        02 => array()
        01 => array()
    )
);

I originally have a larger array used to populate this $years.

Using ksort, I've sorted my years correctly, i.e. they are in chronological order. However, I can't sort my third level (see in 2017, my array is 02,01 whereas it should read 01,02). The last level or the array (such as 2017 > 02) is sorted correctly, this is not an issue, as these are sorted by content within each of them.

I've tried array_multisort, ksort, usort and simply sort but none allow me to sort my keys as they are numeric.

Hope this one will be helpful. Here we are using ksort for sorting array on the basis of keys.

Try this code snippet here

ksort($years);
$result=array_map(
  function($array)  {
       ksort($array);
       return $array;
  },
  $years);

How about iterating through the children elements, sorting them with ksort() as well:

<?php
$years = array(
    2018 => array(
        01 => array(),
        02 => array()
    ),
    2017 => array(
        02 => array(),
        01 => array()
    )
);
ksort($years);
foreach ($years as &$year) {
    ksort($year);
}
var_dump($years);
