rsort()
Sorts an array in descending order. In compiled (AOT) code, indexed arrays with runtime-typed (`mixed`) elements are accepted when every element is `null`, `bool`, `int`, `float`, or `string`. A non-scalar element (nested array, object, resource, or boxed callable) terminates execution before sorting with `Fatal error: sorting Mixed arrays containing non-scalar values is not supported`. This deliberate restriction does not implement full PHP container ordering.
