Class SortIterator

An iterator that will return the passed items in order. The order is given by the value returned in a callback function that maps each of the elements.

Example:

$items = [$user1, $user2, $user3];
$sorted = new SortIterator($items, function ($user) {
 return $user->age;
});

// output all user name order by their age in descending order
foreach ($sorted as $user) {
 echo $user->name;
}

This iterator does not preserve the keys passed in the original elements.

Method Summary

  • __construct() public

    Wraps this iterator around the passed items so when iterated they are returned in order.

  • unwrap() public

Method Detail

__construct()source public 

__construct( array|Traversable $items , callable|string $callback , integer $dir = \SORT_DESC , integer $type = \SORT_NUMERIC )

Wraps this iterator around the passed items so when iterated they are returned in order.

The callback will receive as first argument each of the elements in $items, the value returned in the callback will be used as the value for sorting such element. Please note that the callback function could be called more than once per element.

Parameters

array|Traversable $items
The values to sort
callable|string $callback

A function used to return the actual value to be compared. It can also be a string representing the path to use to fetch a column or property in each element

integer $dir optional \SORT_DESC
either SORT_DESC or SORT_ASC
integer $type optional \SORT_NUMERIC

the type of comparison to perform, either SORT_STRING SORT_NUMERIC or SORT_NATURAL

Throws

InvalidArgumentException
If passed incorrect type for items.
