Merging arrays from different queries

Nick,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I did it in the end with merge_array_recursive. For each of the arrays i created a new key/value pair called "sort_date" for each of the array rows (like you have done but you ahve just unset/reset the value) and then i array_merged_recrsive to get them all into one array. I thought it might not work as different array rows have different fields, i.e. some are members/threads etc however it has worked fine. The only thing ive noticed is that I have a 2d sort algorithm and if i use it to sort by the date it doesnt work so i have to convert the date into a timestamp, sort the array and then convert it back into a date! Apart from that it is all working perfectly now :-) thankyou!

Ultimately, when I make everything tidier I will just select the date column in mysql as a different name so that i dont have to do it in PHP. Then all I ahve to do is merge recursive. Cheers Nick!
