I have two arrays of the same size. One contains all product information and the other one contains only product_id and position. I want to order the first array by the order specified in the second array. Right now I have this code but there must be a more efficient way to do it.
foreach ($ret_products as $ret_product) {
foreach ($sort as $sort_product) {
if ($ret_product->id === $sort_product['product_id']) {
$ret_product->sort_position = $sort_product['position'];
}
}
}
usort($ret_products, function($a, $b){
return $a->sort_position > $b->sort_position;
});
This removes the double for loop:
$order = [];
foreach ($sort as $sort_product) {
$order[$sort_product['product_id']] = $sort_product['position'];
}
usort($ret_products, function($a, $b) use ($order) {
return $order[$a->id] > $order[b->id];
});
