&reftitle.parameters;
array
The input array.
sort_flags
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
(don't change types)SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numericallySORT_STRING - compare items as stringsSORT_LOCALE_STRING - compare items as
strings, based on the current locale. Added in PHP 4.4.0 and 5.0.2.
Before PHP 6, it uses the system locale, which can be changed using
setlocale. Since PHP 6, you must use the
i18n_loc_set_default function.

&reftitle.notes;

Like most PHP sorting functions, sort uses an
implementation of Quicksort.
Be careful when sorting arrays with mixed types values because
sort can produce unpredictable results.
