I'm having trouble finding a function to sort a multidimensional array by
the value of a given key in the contained arrays.  Perhaps i'm missing
something, perhaps PHP is missing something.

Take the array below.  All I'm looking to do is reorder $my_array based on
the value of the "name" key for example--to order $my_array based on the
alphabetical order of the "names".

$my_array = array (
                    array ("name"=>"Sam", "age"=>"20", married="yes"),
                    array ("name"=>"Alice", "age"=>"25", married="no"),
                    array ("name"=>"Jim", "age"=>"19", married="no"),
                    array ("name"=>"Janice", "age"=>"22", married="yes")
                );

Am I missing something that already exists?
