fixes #7401
Made sort faster by using builtin php methods. Currently, we sort via
usort
in PHP. This is quite slow especially when we sort many rows, eg 25k rows or more. The time needed to sort depends a lot on the data, the column to sort, etc. that's why it is hard to say how much performance improvement we will gain. On 25k rows it can drop from eg before about 900ms to 500ms.As a side effect the code is much better tested and it does now use a secondary column on either
nb_visits
orlabel
if possible see #7401The sort flags
SORT_NATURAL
andSORT_FLAG_CASE
were added in PHP 5.4 which this pull request requires, therefore this goes into Piwik 3.0Original PR was made in #7420
