Gschiavon opened a new pull request #25728: [SPARK-29020][SQL] Improving array_sort behaviour URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/25728 ### What changes were proposed in this pull request? I've noticed that there are two functions to sort arrays sort_array and array_sort. sort_array is from 1.5.0 and it has the possibility of ordering both ascending and descending array_sort is from 2.4.0 and it only has the possibility of ordering in ascending. Basically I just added the possibility of ordering either ascending or descending using array_sort. I think it would be good to have unified behaviours and not having to user sort_array when you want to order in descending order. Imagine that you are new to spark, I'd like to be able to sort array using the newest spark functions. ### Why are the changes needed? Basically to be able to sort the array in descending order using *array_sort* instead of using *sort_array* from 1.5.0 ### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change? Yes, now you are able to sort the array in descending order. Note that it has the same behaviour with nulls than sort_array ### How was this patch tested? Test's added This is the link to the [jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29020)
