array_sort

Sorts the first dimension of the array. The sort order is determined by the default sort ordering of the array's element type; however, if the element type is collatable, the collation to use can be specified by adding a COLLATE clause to the array argument.

English manual coverage begins with PostgreSQL 7.1. Source history and runtime observations have their own recorded version boundaries.
