How can I sort this first by Member id and then by Payment date?

Array
(
    [240] => Array
        (
            [Member] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 112
                )

            [Payment] => Array
                (
                    [date] => 0712


)
    )

I tried with multisort, but I never found a way what was working and all examples I found didn't had my additional level.

Is the date value a string or an integer?

Anyway, supposing that date is an int, you could try this:

function my_sort($val1, $val2) {
    $compare_id = $val1['Member']['id'] - $val2['Member']['id'];
    if($compare_id == 0) {
        return $val1['Payment']['date'] - $val2['Payment']['date'];
    }
    else return $compare_id;
}

and then call:

usort($array, 'my_sort');

If the data is received from database you can use ... ORDER BY member,date

And, from the looks of it, you're using CakePHP? You just have to include those in your array (at the same level as 'conditions') –  tigertrussell Jul 26 '12 at 15:01
