changing array order

@Sid3335authorJul 25.2006 — #so the array i have is:

[code=php]
 Array ( 
 [0] => Array ( [COLUMN_NAME] => name [DATA_TYPE] => varchar )
 [1] => Array ( [COLUMN_NAME] => alive [DATA_TYPE] => tinyint ) 
 [2] => Array ( [COLUMN_NAME] => age [DATA_TYPE] => int ) ) 
 [/code]

i'm trying to move the array elements around either up one index or down one index.

i have this so far:

[code=php]
  switch ($order)
 {
 case 'up' :
 list($array2[$index], $array2[$index - 1]) = array($array2[$index - 1], $array2[$index]); 
 $array_to_swap = $index - 1; 
 echo "<br><br>attempt swap: array element " .  $index . " with array element " . $array_to_swap  . " <br><br>" ;
 break ;
 case 'down' :
 list($array2[$index], $array2[$index + 1]) = array($array2[$index + 1], $array2[$index]); 
 $array_to_swap = $index + 1; 
 echo "<br><br>attempt swap: array element " .  $index . " with array element " . $array_to_swap . " <br><br>" ; 
 break ; 
 }
 [/code]

but it doesn't work in any sensical manner. does it matter that its a multi dimensional array?
