Noble Monks:
I've just completed my 1st real program that actually achieves something, and damn it feels good. One part of this script, though, contains an array of arrays, like so:

$array[$i] = [x, y, z];

[download]

This array needs to be sorted in order to find the $i with the smallest z value. Not too hard, and I did myself.
The problem lies with this website. Since coming here I have seen code so short, efficient, beautifull, etc. that I get quite a minority complex. When I look at the way I sort my array, I just dont like it. Its, well, amateurish. I know this is a simple problem which I have solved, but I would like to see how a real monk would do it.

Thanks for your time,
SMiTZ
