Answer 1

You're on the right track with usort() , you simply need to compare against the 2 ^nd element in the array ( as you required ).

usort($array, function($i, $v) {
    return $i[1] - $v[1];
});

^{Note : The above $array is your array that you want to sort.}

Which will return it in the correct order ( 1 , 2 then 3 ).
