I need help on that one.  Please make suggestions.  I am out of ideas.

I believe there only 2 practical ways with the method used with Judy.
1) "Numeric" sort as in numbers
2) "Dictionary" sort as in alphabetic.

That's the plan, but there is really little difference from 32 and 64 bit.

Thanks for your inputs.

Glad to hear it!  Please don't waste your time trying to make Judy  
multithread-safe.  Instead, my wishlist includes faster performance  
(in the single-threaded case), simpler code base, easier to use APIs,  
and possibly extensions such as a pluggable sort order (even though  
that would probably be a big performance loss if it were used).  Also  
improving performance on 32-bit machines would be good.  32-bit  
machines are not going away -- they're just becoming smaller,  
cheaper, lower-power, and more ubiquitous.

By the way, you might be interested in the modern work on cache- 
friendly data structures e.g.
