1.
sort → new_ary click to toggle source
sort { |a, b| block } → new_ary
Returns a new array created by sorting self.
Comparisons for the sort will be done using the <=> operator or using an optional code block.
The block must implement a comparison between a and b, and return -1, when a follows b, 0 when a and b are equivalent, or +1 if b follows a.
See also Enumerable#sort_by.
a = [ "d", "a", "e", "c", "b" ] a.sort #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] a.sort { |x,y| y <=> x } #=> ["e", "d", "c", "b", "a"]
a.sort { |x,y| x <=> Y } #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
2.sort! → ary click to toggle source
sort! { |a, b| block } → ary
Sorts self in place.
Comparisons for the sort will be done using the <=> operator or using an optional code block.
The block must implement a comparison between a and b, and return -1, when a follows b, 0 when a and b are equivalent, or +1 if b follows a.
See also Enumerable#sort_by.
a = [ "d", "a", "e", "c", "b" ] a.sort! #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] a.sort! { |x,y| y <=> x } #=> ["e", "d", "c", "b", "a"]

3.sort和sort！的区别：
sort和sort!函数，默认都使用 <=>比较，他们的区别在于：
sort! 可能会改变原先的数组，所以加个感叹号提醒
sort 返回的是新数组，没对原先的数组进行修改
在ruby的SDK里，能看到很多加了感叹号的函数，都意味着对函数操作的对象进行了状态更改。
