> Hi, I consider sorting a fundamental operation for any in-memory data
> structures, including those of PyArrow.
> It would be nice if pa.array, pa.table, etc had sorting methods but I did not
> find any. One has to pass sorting indices calculated from some other library,
> such as numpy, to sort them. Sorting indices could have been calculated
> directly from PyArrow. Am I missing something here ? That increases
> significantly complexity for the developer.
> Do you have any plans on implementing such a feature in the near future ?
