Okay. How about adding this suggestion to the manual though? It might
clarify things for others too.

This is definetly the intended resut as all PHP string comparisons are
case sensitive (using strcmp() for comparison)
and as the lower case letters have higher character codes than
the lower case ones (in all common character sets like ASCII,
iso-8859-x, Unicode)
For case insensitive sorting you need to explicitly specify the
comparison function in a user defined sort:
<?php
$a = array('apples', 'Banannas', 'Carrots' );
usort($a, "strcasecmp");
echo implode($a, ', ');
?>

Description:
------------
I assume this is a documentation problem, as I hardly think that this
could possibly be the intended output.
If you use lower case letters at the beginning of strings that are part
of an array, and then use the sort() function on the array, the sort()
function will take preference over upper case letters.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$a = array('apples', 'Banannas', 'Carrots' );
sort($a);
echo implode($a, ', ');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
apples, Banannas, Carrots
Actual result:
--------------
Banannas, Carrots, apples
------------------------------------------------------------------------
