Bug description:consecutives sorting with usort and uasort

Description:
------------
on an array with collection of the same object

the object have 2 property a et b

Exemple:

[

  object:{a=3, b=2}

  object:{a=0, b=2}

  object:{a=2, b=3}

  object:{a=1, b=2}





If you make a first sort with the good fonction and usort on property a,
you obtain 



[

  object:{a=0, b=2}

  object:{a=1, b=2}

  object:{a=2, b=3}

  object:{a=3, b=2}

]

The result is that you intend



Now if you make a second sort with another function and usort on property
b, you obtain

[

  object:{a=3, b=2}

  object:{a=1, b=2}

  object:{a=0, b=2}

  object:{a=2, b=3}

]

The result is not you can wait. I think that's because the read of the
array is make in inverse way.



A possible solution is to mark the placed elements. And not move elements
not tested before or after them the marked element.



Best Regards





Test script:
---------------
<?php

function compa($a, $b){ if($a['a']>$b['a']) return 1; else return
($a['a']<$b['a'])?-1:0; }

function compb($a, $b){ if($a['b']>$b['b']) return 1; else return
($a['b']<$b['b'])?-1:0; }

$a = array(array('a'=>1, 'b'=>2), array('a'=>2, 'b'=>3), array('a'=>3,
'b'=>2), array('a'=>0, 'b'=>2), array('a'=>4, 'b'=>2));

usort($a, 'compa');

print_r($a);

usort($a, 'compb');

print_r($a);

?>



Expected result:
----------------
Array

(

    [0] => Array

        (

            [a] => 0

            [b] => 2

        )

    [1] => Array

        (

            [a] => 1

            [b] => 2

        )

    [2] => Array

        (

            [a] => 3

            [b] => 2

        )

    [3] => Array

        (

            [a] => 2

            [b] => 3

        )

)



Actual result:
--------------
Array

(

    [0] => Array

        (

            [a] => 3

            [b] => 2

        )



    [1] => Array

        (

            [a] => 1

            [b] => 2

        )



    [2] => Array

        (

            [a] => 0

            [b] => 2

        )



    [3] => Array

        (

            [a] => 2

            [b] => 3

        )
