When sorting a large multi-dimensional array, I ran into an issue where the array was not being
sorted either ascending or descending, even when it started in sorted order. It turns out that the
above note about the callback function returning an integer is true. My comparison function was
just a subtraction between two floating point numbers, and the result being a float produced very
unpredictable results.
