Hi everyone,
On my machine, the sorted array scans don't seem to work as
documented. Using the example from the doc:
$ gawk 'BEGIN {

> a[3] = 3

-| 3 3
-| 4 4
I don't get the output above, but the reverse order. More generally,
whatever I do, the PROCINFO["sorted_in"] value seems to be completely
ignored, and I always get the same order.
This is using GAWK 3.1.8 for GNU/Linux on x86_64.
Any idea what's happening?
Yes, you need gawk>= 4 for those features to work.
