    You could try to adjust the FGL unit to use the pluggable sorting

Wouldn't that system itself need to be generic and not just use void pointers first? Or is that part of what you meant?

IMO something FGL would benefit from also is the removal of the probably-not-the-best-design inheritance from non-generic TFPSList to everything else, which prevents inlining in a large number of places (the compiler notes indicating such are visible basically any time you use anything from FGL.)

Yes, but that would be incompatible. However maybe some simple object based types next to it would furfill the remaining purpose of the unit ( cases where you need some simple generic container in places that haven't access to the ones in packages (fcl-stl, rtl-generics)).

But I would keep it simple and straightforward, and save the complex stuff for the more complicated libraries.
