Subject: Dort behaviour change on php7 master
From: pascal.chevrel@free.fr (Pascal Chevrel)

Hi all,

I just compiled master to test my main application and the good news is 
that I have no functional regression and some of the views get a 
considerable speed up (like, page generation divided by two!).

I had one unit test failing and I reduced that to a simple testcase that 
I put there:

http://3v4l.org/4tGv6

Sorting in php master in this specific case is now different on PHP 7 
than on 5.3-5.6 (and actually different than PHP 7 at the beginning of 
the month). The sorting order is now the same as HHVM.

I think the HHVM behaviour makes more sense in this case as I don't see 
why the resulting array should be reversed in this sorting case where 
all lengths are equal, but on the other hand the current behaviour is 
probably 10 years old and maybe it could cause bigger problems in other 
apps than a unit test to update.

Just that you know, in case it matters.

Cheers

Pascal
