sort!() public

Sorts self. Comparisons for the sort will be done using the <=> operator or using an optional code block. The block implements a comparison between a and b, returning -1, 0, or +1. 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"]
