Description There's a bug in PHP 5.x whereby sorting arrays can produce incorrect PHP errors (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50688). Particularly Composr may sort arrays by a Tempcode property, and Composr thinks setting internal caching upon evaluating the Tempcode is a modification of the parent array.

We only received one automated error e-mail about this, but I suspect it could be a much more widespread problem. Or, perhaps the bug only manifests under more specific conditions.

Also generally tidy up any other @'d sorts (error suppressed sorts), so we only @ when we actually need to, with clear LEGACY notices in the code.
