> The input arrays are treated as columns of a table to be sorted
by rows - this resembles the functionality of SQL ORDER BY
clause. The first array is the primary one to sort by. The rows
(values) in that array that compare the same are sorted by the
next input array, and so on.
</P

> The argument structure of this function is a bit unusual, but
flexible. The very first argument has to be an
array. Subsequently, each argument can be either an array or a
sorting flag from the following lists.

<P

><UL
><LI
><P
>SORT_ASC - sort in ascending order</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>SORT_DESC - sort in descending order</P
></LI

</P
><P
> Sorting type flags:
<P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>SORT_STRING - compare items as strings</P
></LI
></UL
>
</P
><P
> No two sorting flags of the same type can be specified after each
array. The sorting flags specified after an array argument apply
only to that array - they are reset to default SORT_ASC and
SORT_REGULAR before each new array argument.
