usort, uasort and uksort all fail to sort an array 
properly every other time they are called, unless the 
array is reset() after each call.

This is a snippet from a class that fails every other time 
it is called.

    var $sort_field;

    function cmp ($a, $b) {
        return ($a[$this -> sort_field] > $b[$this -> 
sort_field]);
    }
 
    function sort_records ($sort_field) {
        $this -> sort_field = $sort_field;
        uasort ($this -> record_data, array($this, "cmp"));
    }

Could you please provide short self-contained script
demonstrating the problem (including data sample)?

No feedback. If this problem persists with PHP 4.0.5 which
will be released next week, please reopen this report.

I tried to produce a small, self-contained example of the 
problem with uasort, but I had already moved my code away 
from these routines in favor of an external sort.

Sadly, I couldn't reproduce the problem in a smaller 
context, so it must have just been a bug in my code. If 
anything, the cmp function is probably wrong, since it 
returns 0 for the < case.
