Is this a solution to your problems?

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$array = array(   '1' =>  array(  '21'  =>  'Item 1',
                                  '928' =>  'Item what!?!',
                                  '86'  =>  'Too late item',
                                  '153' =>  'What is happening here?!?'

                                ),
                  '2' =>  array(  '997' =>  'Fruit - apple', 
                                  '77' => 'Another fruit - orange',
                                  '4'   =>  'The icky fruit',
                                  '64'  =>  'Watermelon'
                                )
                );
                
/*
 *  Sort the items
 */
 
 foreach ( $array as $row => $data) {
      ksort( $data);
      $_compile[$row] =  $data;
 
 } 
 
 /*
  * output
  */
  
  echo "<h1>First array</h1>";
  print_r ( $array);
  
  echo "<h1>The compiled array</h1>";
  print_r( $_compile );                  
      

?>

Output

Code:

Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [21] => Item 1
            [86] => Too late item
            [153] => What is happening here?!?
            [928] => Item what!?!
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [4] => The icky fruit
            [64] => Watermelon
            [77] => Another fruit - orange
            [997] => Fruit - apple
        )

)
