Hi
I just opened voting on the “enum SortDirection” RFC.
The RFC document is available at:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/sort_direction_enum
You can find the Discussion at:
https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/130226
The RFC contains a single primary vote requiring a 2/3 majority. Voting
closes in just over 14 days on 2026-04-01 16:00:00 UTC.
Best regards

Tim, I am curious if adding a backing value in a future release would
be considered a breaking change or not, something like:
enum SortDirection {
case Ascending = 1;
case Descending = -1;
}
The exact values don't matter for my question, only whether or not it
would be considered a backwards compatibility break.
