  Sorting arrays of cryptocurrency objects in PHP can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with large datasets. One effective technique is to use the quicksort algorithm, which is a fast and efficient sorting algorithm. The quicksort algorithm works by selecting a pivot element from the array and partitioning the other elements into two sub-arrays, according to whether they are less than or greater than the pivot. The sub-arrays are then recursively sorted. Here's an example of how you can implement the quicksort algorithm to sort a cryptocurrency array based on the 'name' property: function quicksort($array) { if (count($array) < 2) { return $array; } $pivot = $array[0]; $less = []; $greater = []; for ($i = 1; $i < count($array); $i++) { if ($array[$i]->name < $pivot->name) { $less[] = $array[$i]; } else { $greater[] = $array[$i]; } } return array_merge(quicksort($less), [$pivot], quicksort($greater)); } This will sort the $cryptocurrencies array based on the 'name' property. Keep in mind that the quicksort algorithm has an average time complexity of O(n log n), which makes it suitable for sorting large arrays. However, it's always a good idea to benchmark and compare different sorting algorithms to find the most efficient solution for your specific use case.
