Are there built-in functions in PHP that can be used to sort multidimensional arrays based on a specific field?

When working with multidimensional arrays in PHP, you can use the `array_multisort()` function to sort the array based on a specific field. This function allows you to specify the field you want to sort by and the sorting order (ascending or descending). 

// Sample multidimensional array
$users = [
    ['name' => 'John', 'age' => 30],
    ['name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 25],
    ['name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 35]
];

// Sort the array by the 'age' field in ascending order
array_multisort(array_column($users, 'age'), SORT_ASC, $users);

// Output the sorted array
print_r($users);
