46  "General text sorting routine to divide buffer into records and sort them.
47
48We divide the accessible portion of the buffer into disjoint pieces
49called sort records.  A portion of each sort record (perhaps all of
50it) is designated as the sort key.  The records are rearranged in the
51buffer in order by their sort keys.  The records may or may not be
52contiguous.
53
54Usually the records are rearranged in order of ascending sort key.
55If REVERSE is non-nil, they are rearranged in order of descending sort key.
56The variable `sort-fold-case' determines whether alphabetic case affects
57the sort order.
58
59The next four arguments are functions to be called to move point
60across a sort record.  They will be called many times from within sort-subr.
61
62NEXTRECFUN is called with point at the end of the previous record.
63It moves point to the start of the next record.
64It should move point to the end of the buffer if there are no more records.
65The first record is assumed to start at the position of point when sort-subr
66is called.
67
68ENDRECFUN is called with point within the record.
69It should move point to the end of the record.
70
71STARTKEYFUN moves from the start of the record to the start of the key.
72It may return either a non-nil value to be used as the key, or
73else the key is the substring between the values of point after
74STARTKEYFUN and ENDKEYFUN are called.  If STARTKEYFUN is nil, the key
75starts at the beginning of the record.
76
77ENDKEYFUN moves from the start of the sort key to the end of the sort key.
78ENDKEYFUN may be nil if STARTKEYFUN returns a value or if it would be the
79same as ENDRECFUN.
80
81PREDICATE is the function to use to compare keys.  If keys are numbers,
82it defaults to `<', otherwise it defaults to `string<'."
