Isn't sort + stable sort enough?
Do we really need specialized interfaces for these?
I for one would like a generic radix sort where I could specify the number of bits to grab and where in a UDT to grab each bit or a range of bits from.
Do you really see no use for a O(n) sorting algorithm?
I was speaking about the various "reverse sort", "sort by field", "sort by two fields" etc. I definitely think that a radix sort would be useful. gpd
