// the default order is ascending, to have an descending order parse the "desc"...
// this will ignore CAPS when sorting

Array.prototype.aSort = function (order) {
	if (order.toLowerCase() == "desc") {
		this.sort(DESC);
	}
	else {
		this.sort(ASC);
	}
}

function ASC (a , b){
	if (typeof(a) == "string" or typeof(b) == "string") {

usage

// put this on the 2nd frame
stop();
a1 = new Array("Ca", "aa", "Ba", "Ab", "cb", "bb", "c");
a2 = new Array(1, 3, 5, 6, 11, 0);
a3 = new Array("1", 3, "5", "6", 12, 0);

a1.aSort("DESC");
a2.aSort();
a3.aSort("desc");
trace(a1 + " | " + a2 + " | " + a3);

useful but,
array has reverse(),
so "desc" is not necessary,
and i don't care for Boolean, Array, nor anything ...
but for Number

Array.prototype.aSort = function() {
	var asc = function (a, b) {
		a = a.toString().toLowerCase();
		b = b.toString().toLowerCase();
		if (a<b) {
			return -1;
		} else if (a>b) {
			return 1;
		}
		return 0;
	};
	this.sort(asc);
};
temp=["az", "Bz", "XYZ"];
a1 = ["Ca", "aa", "Ba", "Ab", "cb", "bb", "c",0,1,2,true,false,"fax",temp ];
a1.sort();
trace(a1);
a1.aSort();
trace(a1);
a1.reverse();
trace(a1);
