Please see the node 'Controlling Array Traversal', which comes
right before the node 'Array Sorting Functions', for some
examples of user defined functions to control scanning order.

If the manual is read linearly, then the text in 'Array Sorting
Functions' should be adequate, since the reader will have seen the
use of user defined functions.

However, it's probably worth adding a small example directly into
the 'Array Sorting Functions' node as well.

Thanks!
