Re: [PHP-DEV] Sorting Bug / Wrong behavior?

[Andi Gutmans]

I talked to John about this yesterday. I'll take a closer look at this 
within the coming days to see if this makes sense and how it affects BC in 
general (if at all).

The current order simply makes no sense at all.īThe following though would:
0 a b c 1 2   // zero dirst, then strings then numbers
a b c 0 1 2   // strings first, then numbers
0 1 2 a b c   // numbers first, then strings
and btw, john you forgot the patch, it is attached here.
The one provided does the 2nd which means we only ensured
0 is treated un the same way other numbers are.
