Interface is like the qsort() interface in C, so that an array of values
|
|
can be sorted. This does not mean that it has to be an ARRAY, but it does
|
|
mean that the values must be consecutive in memory, and the order is the
|
|
"memory" order.
|
|
The user has to define a comparison procedure of type CompareProc.
|
|
This routine gets two pointers as parameters. These are pointers to the
|
|
opbjects that must be compared. The sorting takes place in ascending order,
|
|
so that f.i. if the result of the comparison is "less", the first argument
|
|
comes in front of the second.
