intsort_flags

sort example
]]>
This example would display:
The fruits have been sorted in alphabetical order.
The optional second parameter sort_flags
may be used to modify the sorting behavior using these values:
Sorting type flags:
SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally
SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically
SORT_STRING - compare items as strings
The second parameter was added in PHP 4.
Be careful when sorting arrays with mixed types values because
sort can produce unpredictable results.
