       This method modifies the :class:`Stats` object by sorting it according to

+      enum identifying the basis of a sort (example: ``'time'``, ``'name'``,

+      advantage over the string argument in that it is more robust and less
+      error prone.
 
       When more than one key is provided, then additional keys are used as
       secondary criteria when there is equality in all keys selected before
-      them.  For example, ``sort_stats('name', 'file')`` will sort all the
-      entries according to their function name, and resolve all ties (identical
-      function names) by sorting by file name.

-      Abbreviations can be used for any key names, as long as the abbreviation
-      is unambiguous.  The following are the keys currently defined:

       Note that all sorts on statistics are in descending order (placing most
       time consuming items first), where as name, file, and line number searches
       are in ascending order (alphabetical). The subtle distinction between
-      ``'nfl'`` and ``'stdname'`` is that the standard name is a sort of the
-      name as printed, which means that the embedded line numbers get compared
-      in an odd way.  For example, lines 3, 20, and 40 would (if the file names
-      were the same) appear in the string order 20, 3 and 40.  In contrast,
-      ``'nfl'`` does a numeric compare of the line numbers.  In fact,
-      ``sort_stats('nfl')`` is the same as ``sort_stats('name', 'file',
-      'line')``.
+      ``SortKey.NFL`` and ``SortKey.STDNAME`` is that the standard name is a
+      sort of the name as printed, which means that the embedded line numbers
+      get compared in an odd way.  For example, lines 3, 20, and 40 would (if

+      In fact, ``sort_stats(SortKey.NFL)`` is the same as
+      ``sort_stats(SortKey.NAME, SortKey.FILENAME, SortKey.LINE)``.
 
       For backward-compatibility reasons, the numeric arguments ``-1``, ``0``,
       ``1``, and ``2`` are permitted.  They are interpreted as ``'stdname'``,
