sort() public

Returns a new array created by sorting self.

Comparisons for the sort will be done using the <=> operator or using an optional code block.

The block must implement a comparison between a and b, and return -1, when a follows b, 0 when a and b are equivalent, or +1 if b follows a.

See also Enumerable#sort_by.

a = [ "d", "a", "e", "c", "b" ]
a.sort                    #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
a.sort { |x,y| y <=> x }  #=> ["e", "d", "c", "b", "a"]
