What is the recommended approach for sorting a two-dimensional array in PHP?

When sorting a two-dimensional array in PHP, you can use the `array_multisort()` function to sort the rows based on a specific column. This function allows you to specify the column you want to sort by and the sorting order. 

// Sample two-dimensional array
$array = array(
    array("name" => "John", "age" => 30),
    array("name" => "Jane", "age" => 25),
    array("name" => "Alice", "age" => 35)
);

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

// Print the sorted array
print_r($array);
