The following array of objects is used by the remaining examples, which show how to use the
options parameter:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
my_array.push({password: "Bob", age:29});
my_array.push({password: "abcd", age:3});
my_array.push({password: "barb", age:35});
my_array.push({password: "catchy", age:4});
Performing a default sort on the password field produces the following results:
my_array.sortOn("password");
// Bob
// abcd
// barb
// catchy
Performing a case-insensitive sort on the password field produces the following results:
my_array.sortOn("password", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
// abcd
// barb
// Bob
// catchy
