How can usort() be utilized to achieve a custom sorting order for arrays in PHP based on object properties?

When sorting arrays of objects in PHP based on object properties, usort() can be utilized with a custom comparison function. This function should compare the desired object properties to determine the sorting order. By defining a custom comparison function, you can achieve a specific sorting order based on the object properties. 

// Define a custom comparison function based on object properties
function customSort($a, $b) {
    // Compare object properties for sorting order
    if ($a->property < $b->property) {
        return -1;
    } elseif ($a->property > $b->property) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

// Sort the array of objects using usort() with the custom comparison function
usort($arrayOfObjects, 'customSort');
