I think Using the stringarray sort as I did is simpler. I just want to eliminate the overhead of converting the integer array in a string array or a object array, since the integer array already exists when I need sorting.
Like I said previously, I'm quite sure I will be able to converting the methods for the string array sort to a integer array sort, because your code is well written... I only though it would be a nice addition to the library. I suspect that maybe your integer sort would be faster...
