Jonathan:

I was just curious; good cross-language sorts are one of those "academic
interest" things for me.  I think Tor has a good track on this one for
you, though.  Sorting itself winds down to choosing the algorithm
appropriate for the set of items (size, etc.) in question.  Binary trees
or divide-and-conquer algorithms are good, but probably not appropriate
for a set of 10 items, for example.  Linear (O)n pass mechanism on a
million items would be just as wrong.  I was curious to see / hear how
you had solved this particular problem.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
