php定义长字符串组数,php – 使用字符串值自定义数组排序

假设我有这个数组：

$array = array(

array("id" => 7867867, "animal" => "Dog"),

array("id" => 3452342, "animal" => "Lion"),

array("id" => 1231233, "animal" => "Lion"),

array("id" => 5867867, "animal" => "Dog"),

array("id" => 1111111, "animal" => "Zeebra"),

array("id" => 2222222, "animal" => "Cat"),

array("id" => 3333333, "animal" => "Cat"),

array("id" => 4444444, "animal" => "Zeebra")

);

现在我一直在尝试做的是使用php排序函数,以便能够根据特定规则对其进行排序(不是按字母顺序)

客户希望这些信息按“Lion first,Dog second,Zeebra third,Cat 4th”排序.

像这样的东西：

$array = array(

array("id" => 3452342, "animal" => "Lion"),

array("id" => 1231233, "animal" => "Lion"),

array("id" => 7867867, "animal" => "Dog"),

array("id" => 5867867, "animal" => "Dog"),

array("id" => 4444444, "animal" => "Zeebra"),

array("id" => 1111111, "animal" => "Zeebra"),

array("id" => 2222222, "animal" => "Cat"),

array("id" => 3333333, "animal" => "Cat"),

);

该阵列将使用“动物”值进行排序,并且将基于预先确定的规则.

我试图找出php排序函数,但我只能按照字母顺序或数字顺序对数组进行排序.

我已经开始工作的是一个if语句和循环块,我想尽快摆脱那个慢速代码.
