Subject: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] enum SortDirection
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

From: tim@bastelstu.be (=?UTF-8?Q?Tim_D=C3=BCsterhus?=)

Hi

please consider this email as a formal request for comments on my modest 
proposal of adding a new `enum SortDirection` to PHP’s standard library.

I have made the full proposal available on the World Wide Web at:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/sort_direction_enum

Yours sincerely
