NAME

sort_array() - sort an array

SYNOPSIS

mixed *sort_array( mixed *arr, string fun, object ob );

DESCRIPTION

Returns an array with the same elements as `arr', but quicksorted in descending 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).

Here are two common forms for the compare function to take:

int compare(string one, two) {
    return strcmp(one, two);
}

int compare(int one, two) {
    return (one - two);
}
