## Package com.icl.saxon.sort Description

This package provides utility routines for sorting: specifically, a BinaryTree implementation, a QuickSort implementation, and some Comparer objects that handle character and numeric comparisons.

It is possible to extend the sorting capabilities by writing additional Comparers. The class should be named Compare_xx where xx is the language code, as used in the lang parameter of xsl:sort.
