# Sort PHP array by datetime

 * Hello,
 * I am using the following PHP code (that i did not write) to display a custom 
   menu on my homepage ([http://www.globexposure.net/blossoms/](http://www.globexposure.net/blossoms/)):
 *     ```
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'home-menu', 'container_class' => 'home_menu_class' ) ); ?>
       ```
   
 * At present it displays the menu items in reverse alphabetical order.
 * I would like to sort the array into datetime order instead. Please can someone
   show me how?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi
 * Looking at:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu#Parameters](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu#Parameters)
 * There is not an option to sort menu items.
 * Secondly, menu items do not have a date/time associated with them. So even if
   you could sort, you could not sort by the date/time.
 * However, try this:
 * 1)
    Have you tried editing the menu and changing the order of the menu items?
 * 2)
    If these are all pages, edit each page and set Page attributes (Box on right
   side of editing screen) > Order for each page…
 * Hope this helps 🙂
