What are the potential pitfalls of sorting data using explode and arrays in PHP?

One potential pitfall of sorting data using explode and arrays in PHP is that the exploded values may not be in the desired format for sorting (e.g., as integers or dates). To solve this issue, you can use array_map to convert the exploded values to the desired format before sorting the array. 

$data = "10,5,20,15";
$exploded_data = explode(",", $data);

// Convert the exploded values to integers before sorting
$exploded_data = array_map('intval', $exploded_data);

// Sort the array
sort($exploded_data);

print_r($exploded_data);
