Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.sprintf#refsect1-function.sprintf-
parameters
---

The format character "%u" is not in the correct place in the list. The rest of 
the characters are sorted alphabetically. If it's in a different location because 
it closely relates to "%d", it should go directly under "%d" and *not* between 
"%E" and "%f" which is where it is now.

For bonus points have the table sorted alphabetically as it is (fix "%u") and add 
a separate table that groups them by how the type is treated (int, float, 
string). This second table wouldn't need to duplicate all of the descriptions; it 
would be used to find all the int-related codes.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

How do I collect my points !?

Thanks for your input :)
