Well, this is to be expected, in that it doesn't make any sense to perform
these sort of operations on a multidimensional array. What would it mean,
after all, to sort a two-dimensional array? How would you sort the outer
dimension? It's worth pointing out that a two-dimensional array is nothing
more than an array in which each element is itself an array - that is,
there's no such thing as a multidimensional array, really!

However, there's nothing to stop you from using an array function on any
array, even if that array is an element within another array. This is what
people mean typically, when they talk about using array functions on
multidimensional arrays.
