### `ArrayObject::asort` example

    <?php
    $fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
    $fruitArrayObject = new ArrayObject($fruits);
    $fruitArrayObject->asort();

    foreach ($fruitArrayObject as $key => $val) {
        echo "$key = $val\n";
    }
    ?>

&example.outputs;

    c = apple
    b = banana
    d = lemon
    a = orange

The fruits have been sorted in alphabetical order, and the key associated with each entry has been maintained.
