#	isort(x, p)
#		customized sort in which procedure p is used for
#		comparison.
#
#	sortff(L, fields[])
#		like sortf(), except takes an unlimited number of field
#		arguments.
#
#	sortgen(T, m)
#		generates sorted output in a manner specified by m:
#
#			"k+"	sort by key in ascending order
#			"k-"	sort by key in descending order
#			"v+"	sort by value in ascending order
#			"v-"	sort by value in descending order
#
#	sortt(T, i)
#		like sort(T, i) but produces a list of two-element records
#		instead of a list of two-element lists.

#  Customizable sort procedure for inclusion in Icon programs.
#
#       isort(x,keyproc,y)
#
#  Argument x can be any Icon data type that is divisible into elements
#  by the unary element generation (!) operator.  The result is a list
#  of the objects in sorted order.
#
#  The default is to sort elements in their natural, Icon-defined order.
#  However, an optional parameter (keyproc) allows a sort key to be
#  derived from each element, rather than the default of using the
#  element itself as the key.  Keyproc can be a procedure provided by
#  the caller, in which case the first argument to the key procedure is
#  the item for which the key is to be computed, and the second argument
#  is isort's argument y, passed unchanged.  The keyproc must produce
#  the extracted key.  Alternatively, the keyproc argument can be an
#  integer, in which case it specifies a subscript to be applied to each
#  item to produce a key.  Keyproc will be called once for each element
#  of structure x.
