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.

IteratorIterator implements Iterator, Traversable, OuterIterator

Method Summary

__construct() public

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

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.

__debugInfo()source public

__debugInfo( )

Returns an array that can be used to describe the internal state of this object.

Returns

Returns

string

Implementation of

Serializable::serialize()

Unserializes the passed string and rebuilds the Collection instance

Parameters

string $collection: The serialized collection
