Passing one argument to set_sort_by_value() is deprecated (and you'll
get a warning with the C++ headers if your compiler supports that, but
sadly that's not wired up to give a PHP warning).

The original meaning of the second parameter was backwards to what
people expected, so we changed it and deprecated the single argument
form:

Set the second argument to *false* (since you don't want to reverse the
order), and it should do what you want.
