Description:
------------
When mixing numeric and strings for the keys, you can get unexpected results. With the ksort, you can specify a sort flag (see the flags on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php). Using that, you are able to change the sort behaviour.
It would be great if we could specify the same sort flag for ArrayObject::ksort.
So instead of public void ArrayObject::ksort ( void ) it would be public void ArrayObject::ksort ( [ int $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR ])

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$list = array('key_3' => 'Value 3', 'Unknown key 1', 'key_1' => 'Value 1', 'key_2' => 'Value 2', 'key_0' => 'Value 0', 'Unknown key 2');
ksort($list);
var_dump($list);
ksort($list, SORT_STRING);
var_dump($list);

$list = new ArrayObject();
$list->offsetSet('key_3', 'Value 3');
$list->append('Unknown key 1');
$list->offsetSet('key_1', 'Value 1');
$list->offsetSet('key_2', 'Value 2');
$list->offsetSet('key_0', 'Value 0');
$list->append('Unknown key 2');
$list->ksort();
//$list->ksort(SORT_STRING);
var_dump($list);

Expected result:
----------------
If $list->ksort(SORT_STRING) would work, then I would expect
object(ArrayObject)[1689]
  string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13)
  string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13)
  public 'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7)
  public 'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7)
  public 'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7)
  public 'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7)



Actual result:
--------------
//ksort
array (size=6)
  'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7)
  'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7)
  0 => string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13)
  'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7)
  'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7)
  1 => string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13)

//ksort with sort flag SORT_STRING
array (size=6)
  0 => string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13)
  1 => string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13)
  'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7)
  'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7)
  'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7)
  'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7)

//ArrayObject::ksort
object(ArrayObject)[1689]
  public 'key_0' => string 'Value 0' (length=7)
  public 'key_1' => string 'Value 1' (length=7)
  string 'Unknown key 1' (length=13)
  public 'key_2' => string 'Value 2' (length=7)
  public 'key_3' => string 'Value 3' (length=7)
  string 'Unknown key 2' (length=13)

cool, I implemented it last night, but missing a better test case.
I think the error message isn't correct, so I didn't sent it.

you could see that, the warning message is not really exactly correct.
It just a proxy to call asort($obj, $flag) if the $flag is not valid.
It complained about the 2 parameter is not valid but not the first parameter.

$obj->sort('adfsd');  // 1
sort($ar, 'adfds');   // 2

yes, I noticed that, just I thought it was acceptable, there is the same issue in 
uasort.
