rearrange multidimensional array on basis of value of inner array
- by I Like PHP
i have an array like this
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[cat_name] => Clothing
[cat_id] => 1
[item_name] => shirt
[item_id] => 1
[src] => 177
[sic] => 78
)
[1] => Array
(
[cat_name] => Stationary
[cat_id] => 3
[item_name] => note book
[item_id] => 8
[src] => 50
[sic] => 10
)
[2] => Array
(
[cat_name] => Stationary
[cat_id] => 3
[item_name] => ball pen
[item_id] => 10
[src] => 59
[sic] => 58
)
[3] => Array
(
[cat_name] => Expandable
[cat_id] => 4
[item_name] => vim powder
[item_id] => 14
[src] => 34
[sic] => 23
)
[4] => Array
(
[cat_name] => Clothing
[cat_id] => 1
[item_name] => pant
[item_id] => 16
[src] => 100
[sic] => 10

now what i want
first it sorted by cat_id and then a create a new array having below structure
Array
(
[0] =>"Clothing"=>Array
(
[0]=>Array
