Quick 'n' dirty:

function datesort($a,$b)
{
    return strcmp($a['date'],$b['date']);
}

$events[] = array('name' => 'one', 'date' => '2007-09-01');
$events[] = array('name' => 'two', 'date' => '2008-09-02');
$events[] = array('name' => 'three', 'date' => '2007-01-02');

uasort(&$events,'datesort');

print_r($events);
