    Package overview for net.sf.saxon.expr.sort




This package provides utility routines for sorting and grouping.
    Specifically, it contains a QuickSort implementation,
    and some AtomicComparer objects that handle character and numeric comparisons, together
    with the important DocumentOrderIterator which iterates over a set of nodes in document
    order.

The package also
    contains the classes to support the implementation of the XSLT 2.0 instruction
    xsl:for-each-group, and some utilities for maintaining sets and maps whose keys
    are unboxed integer values.
