PHP Code:

<?php
function word_digit($word) {
    $warr = explode(';',$word);
    $result = '';
    foreach($warr as $value){
        switch(trim($value)){
            case 'zero':
                $result .= '0';
                break;
            case 'one':
                $result .= '1';
                break;
            case 'two':
                $result .= '2';
                break;
            case 'three':
                $result .= '3';
                break;
            case 'four':
                $result .= '4';
                break;
            case 'five':
                $result .= '5';
                break;
            case 'six':
                $result .= '6';
                break;
            case 'seven':
                $result .= '7';
                break;
            case 'eight':

                break;
            case 'nine':
                $result .= '9';
                break;    
        }
    }
    return $result;
}

echo word_digit("zero;three;five;six;eight;one")."\n";
echo word_digit("seven;zero;one")."\n";
?>

Sample Output:

035681

How to Sort Multi-dimensional Array by Value?

Try a usort, If you are still on PHP 5.2 or earlier, you'll have to define a sorting function first:

Example:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
}

usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

Starting in PHP 5.3, you can use an anonymous function:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
});

And finally with PHP 7 you can use the spaceship operator:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
});

To extend this to multi-dimensional sorting, reference the second/third sorting elements if the first is zero - best explained below. You can also use this for sorting on sub-elements.

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    $retval = $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
    if ($retval == 0) {
        $retval = $a['suborder'] <=> $b['suborder'];
        if ($retval == 0) {
            $retval = $a['details']['subsuborder'] <=> $b['details']['subsuborder'];
        }
    }
    return $retval;
});

If you need to retain key associations, use uasort() - see comparison of array sorting functions in the manual
