Bram, any chance that a way to guarantee a stable sort could be included, so sorting by multiple fields could be achieved natively? I'm guessing you just do a library call right now that does not offer such guarantees, but some extra flag to the :sort command could perhaps be created for a built-in (stable) sort algorithm. There are plenty out there with good performance, probably some open-source code we could incorporate as well. Heck, an alternate library call might be able to provide it. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
