I usually use this function (I found this functions somewhere on the internet years ago, credits go to the original author):

/*
 
 * sort a multi demensional array on a column
 
 *
 
 * @param array $array array with hash array
 
 * @param mixed $column key that you want to sort on
 
 * @param enum $order asc or desc
 
 */
 
function array_qsort2 (&$array, $column=0, $order="ASC") {
 
    $oper = ($order == "ASC")?">":"<";
 
    if(!is_array($array)) return;
 
    usort($array, create_function('$a,$b',"return (\$a['$column'] $oper \$b['$column']);")); 
 
    reset($array);
 
}

You can use it like this:

array_qsort2($users, "username", "ASC");
