sort_array() - sort an array
mixed *sort_array( mixed *arr, string fun, object ob );
mixed *sort_array( mixed *arr, function f );
mixed *sort_array( mixed *arr, int direction );
The first form returns an array with the same elements as 'arr', but
quicksorted in ascending order according to the rules in 'ob->fun()'.
'ob->fun()' will be passed two arguments for each call. It should
return -1, 0, or 1, depending on the relationship of the two arguments
(lesser, equal to, greater than).
The second form does the same thing but allows a function pointer to be
used instead.
The third form returns an array with the same elements as 'arr', but
quicksorted using built-in sort routines. A 'direction' of 1 or 0 will
quicksort in ascending order, while a 'direction' of -1 will quicksort
in descending order. A limitation of the built-in sort routines is
that the array must be homogeneous, composed entirely of a single type,
where that type is string, int, or float. Arrays of arrays are sorted
by sorting based on the first element, making database sorts possible.
