The (rnrs sorting (6)) library provides procedures for sorting
lists and vectors.
These procedures return their input sorted in ascending order, without
modifying the original data. proc must be a procedure that takes
two elements from the input list or vector as arguments, and returns a
true value if the first is “less” than the second, #f
otherwise. list-sort returns a list; vector-sort returns
a vector.
Both list-sort and vector-sort are implemented in terms of
the stable-sort procedure from Guile’s core library.
See Sorting, for a discussion of the behavior of that procedure.
Performs a destructive, “in-place” sort of vector, using
proc as described above to determine an ascending ordering of
elements. vector-sort! returns an unspecified value.
This procedure is implemented in terms of the sort! procedure
from Guile’s core library. See Sorting, for more information.
