String - array of strings (["a","b","c"...])
Number - array of numbers ([1,2,3...])
Array - array of subarrays ([["a",1,2],["b",3,4],["c",5,6]...]). Subarrays should be of the same structure. Subarray elements other than String or Number will be ignored during sorting.

Mixed arrays (["a",1,[true]...]) are not supported and results are undefined.
