[PHP] usort

[Roguebfl]

I'm getting Warning: usort() [function.usort]: Invalid comparison function

Which points to

if ($sort == "artist") usort($artistarray, "cmp_artist"); 

$artistarry is an array of objects which contain cmp_artist()

static function cmp_artist($a, $b)
{
   $tmp = strcasecmp($a->get_artist(),$b->get_artist());
   if ($tmp)
   {
      return $tmp;
   }
   else
   {
      if($a->get_multiple() == $b->get_multiple()  ) return "0";
      if ($a->get_multiple() < $b->get_multiple() ) 
      { $tmp = "-1"; }
      else
      { $tmp = "1";}
      return $tmp;
   }
} 

It is meant to sort the array by the artists name alphabetically, and if the artist appearance more than once the sort it them numerically based on it's multiple count. (the array is created in appearance order)

It was resolved via

if ($sort == "artist") usort($artistarray, array("RefItem","cmp_artist")); 

Though I could not find any documentation on why that was meant to work
