How can PHP developers ensure that entries from the current day appear at the top of the sorted list?

To ensure that entries from the current day appear at the top of the sorted list, PHP developers can add a timestamp to each entry and then sort the list based on this timestamp in descending order. This way, the entries from the current day will be at the top of the sorted list. 

// Sample array of entries with timestamps
$entries = [
    ['title' => 'Entry 1', 'timestamp' => strtotime('today')],
    ['title' => 'Entry 2', 'timestamp' => strtotime('yesterday')],
    ['title' => 'Entry 3', 'timestamp' => strtotime('tomorrow')]
];

// Sort the entries based on timestamp in descending order
usort($entries, function($a, $b) {
    return $b['timestamp'] - $a['timestamp'];
});

// Display the sorted entries
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
    echo $entry['title'] . "\n";
}
