Embed PageList w/Custom Sort

Permalink
I have created custom attributes for is_featured(checkbox) and featured_order(text, will be a number 1-6). How can I embed a PageList into a theme file that will show the is_featured pages listed in the featured_order order?

Ok, I have my pagelist on my page using a normal pagelist block. I am using the below custom template:
<?php
if (count($cArray) > 0) { 
   foreach($cArray as $cobj) { ?>
      <?
      $bgImage = $cobj->getCollectionAttributeValue('featured_graphic');
      $bgBanner = $cobj->getCollectionAttributeValue('featured_banner');
        if (!empty($bgImage)) {
                $fgraphic = $bgImage->getRelativePath();
                ?>
            <li style="background: #816e68">
               <img src="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/elements/timthumb.php?src=<?=$fgraphic;?>&h=158&w=284&zc=1" alt="placeholder" class="left" />
               <p class="left" style="color:#ffffff; font-family:'GothamMedium'; font-size: 14px; text-transform: uppercase; line-height: 20px; margin: 10px 15px">
               <?=$cobj->getCollectionAttributeValue('featured_content')?>
                  <a href="<?=$nh->getLinkToCollection($cobj)?>" style="font-size:11px; text-decoration: underline; color: #fff">> VIEW DETAILS </a>
               </p>
Viewing 15 lines of 32 lines. View entire code block.


All I need now is to somehow sort by:
$cobj->getCollectionAttributeValue('featured_order')


before running though the custom template.
Any ideas?

You can sort the array by inserting this line
usort ($cArray,"myCmp");

after
if (count($cArray) > 0) {

then you need to define your sorting function at the bottom of the page like
function myCmp($a,$b) {
$fo_a = $a->getCollectionAttributeValue('featured_order');
$fo_b = $b->getCollectionAttributeValue('featured_order');
return strcasecmp($fo_a, $fo_b);
}
