numbers. If they aren't numbers, use a string comparison (which can be case-insensitive if

Array.UNIQUESORT
objects in the array are identical or have identical sort fields.
Array.RETURNINDEXEDARRAY
sort. For example, the following array would return the second line of code and the array
would remain unchanged:
["a", "d", "c", "b"]
[0, 3, 2, 1]

my_array.sort (Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING)
