The documentation already states: > Note: Like most PHP sorting functions, sort() uses an implementation of » Quicksort. The pivot is chosen in the middle of the partition resulting in an optimal time for already sorted arrays. This is however an implementation detail you shouldn't rely on. As the selection of the pivot element may also affect the order of equal elements and is explicitly defined as “one should not rely on it” this change seems to be fine from my perspective.
