flagsThe optional second parameter flags may be used to modify the sorting behavior using these values:
Sorting type flags:
SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally; the details are described in the comparison operators sectionSORT_NUMERIC - compare items numericallySORT_STRING - compare items as stringsSORT_LOCALE_STRING - compare items as strings, based on the current locale. It uses the locale, which can be changed using setlocale()SORT_NATURAL - compare items as strings using "natural ordering" like natsort()SORT_FLAG_CASE - can be combined (bitwise OR) with SORT_STRING or SORT_NATURAL to sort strings case-insensitivelyAlways returns true.
