Hi,

It was surprising me that's idl's build-in sort procedure is very very
slow.

for this example it needs on may RS6000 AIX more than 2 minutes.

a = indgen(10000)
b = [a,a]
print,systime(0)
s = b(sort(b))
print,systime(0)

end


This is much too long.

Did someone have a better sort routine which I can have?
