When sorting a 2d array in this fashion (only non-fatally executed with numeric first level keys https://3v4l.org/HaU42), the first level keys will be used as the sorting flag while sorting each row. This means that different rows may have different sorting flags applied -- effectively corrupting the result. https://3v4l.org/FeIpj -- notice how rows with keys 2, 5, and 10 are sorted as strings.
