how i sort after json_encode? tell anyone your suggestion

Answer 1

You decode the JSON string back into PHP. Sort it using the normal PHP sort routines (looks like uksort is the right one here). Then reencode it.

Serializing data to JSON is something you do in order to transport the data, not to perform operations on it.
