-	 * Sorts a multi-dimensional array by a specific key.
-	 * The multi-dimensional array can be either an array of arrays or an array of objects,
-	 * and the key can be a key name of the sub-arrays or a property name of the objects.
-	 * @param array $items the multi-dimensional array to be sorted
-	 * @param string|\Closure $key key name of the array element, or property name of the object,
-	 * or an anonymous function returning the value. The anonymous function signature should be:
-	 * `function($item)`.
-	 * @param boolean $ascending whether to sort in ascending or descending order
-	 * @param integer $sortFlag the PHP sort flag (e.g. `SORT_REGULAR`, `SORT_NUMERIC`.)
+	 * Sorts an array of objects or arrays (with the same structure) by one or several keys.
+	 * @param array $array the array to be sorted. The array will be modified after calling this method.
+	 * @param string|\Closure|array $key the key(s) to be sorted by. This refers to a key name of the sub-array
+	 * elements, a property name of the objects, or an anonymous function returning the values for comparison
+	 * purpose. The anonymous function signature should be: `function($item)`.
+	 * To sort by multiple keys, provide an array of keys here.
+	 * @param boolean|array $ascending whether to sort in ascending or descending order. When
+	 * sorting by multiple keys with different ascending orders, use an array of ascending flags.
+	 * @param integer|array $sortFlag the PHP sort flag. Valid values include:
+	 * `SORT_REGULAR`, `SORT_NUMERIC`, `SORT_STRING`, and `SORT_STRING | SORT_FLAG_CASE`. The last
+	 * value is for sorting strings in case-insensitive manner. Please refer to
 	 * See [PHP manual](http://php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php) for more details.
-	 * @return array the sorted result. Note that the array will be re-indexed with integers.
+	 * When sorting by multiple keys with different sort flags, use an array of sort flags.
+	 * @throws \yii\base\BadParamException if the $ascending or $sortFlag parameters do not have
+	 * correct number of elements as that of $key.
