Check out [list-sort] for short lists, [list-shellsort] for much longer ones (I don't remember at what point the shellsort starts beating the other one -- maybe if the list has 50 or more entries; but at any rate they do the same thing).
Also, if you're going to be doing something like this a ton in real time with long lists, it might be more productive to do all this manipulation with tables instead of lists (but there isn't yet a library of ready-made vanilla table abstractions like list-abs, at least that I know about; it's been on my to do list for a while but I've been busy with lots of other stuff, and anyway there are lots of externals which do these things with tables).
