Sorting a multi-dimensional array(Case Insensitive)

I'm trying to loop through a multidimensional array and retrieve unique values(case insensitive), can anyone help me?

$shop = array(
            array(
                'Title' => "General enquiries", 
                'Phone' => 02085237289,
            ),
            array(
                'Title' => "general enquiries", 
                'email' => 'something@gmail.com',
            ),
            array(
                'Title' => "not enquiries", 
                'Phone' => 02039303039,
            ),
            array(
                'Title' => "Not enquiries", 
                'email' => 'blah@gmail.com',
            )
        );

This what i'm trying to create:

General Enquiries 02085237289 something@gmail.com

Not enquiries blah@gmail.com 02039303039 What I've tried so far:

$res = array();
foreach ($shop as $each) {
    array_push($res,strtolower($each['Title']));
    array_push($res,$each['email']);
    array_push($res,$each['Phone']);
}

$test =  array_unique($res);

foreach($test as $t){
    //echo $t;
}

this is a very good question, wish am able to upvote you for the question, you have raised.

<?php

$join = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($shop)-1; $i++){
    if ((strtoupper($shop[$i]['Title'])) == (strtoupper($shop[$i+1]['Title']))){
                $join[] = array(
                    $shop[$i]['Title'],
                    $shop[$i]['Phone'],
                    $shop[$i+1]['email']
                );
    }
}
print_r($join);

?>
