Is it possible to create and sort multidimensional arrays in flash like in PHP?

Eg, psedocode…  
array[0] -\> apple, 1.50  
array[1] -\> orange, 1.80

Then be able to re-sort it by cost or name…

Eg, re-sort by cost decending would give me…

array[0] -\> orange, 1.80  
array[1] -\> apple, 1.50

Or, sorting an even more complex arrangement…  
item, cost, quantity, date  
array[0] -\> apple, 1.50, 60, 20081224  
array[1] -\> orange, 1.80, 20, 20081213

Any ideas how to do this? Use multiple arrays?
