Sorting (original) (raw)
scala.util.Sorting
The Sorting object provides convenience wrappers for java.util.Arrays.sort. Methods that defer to java.util.Arrays.sort say that they do or under what conditions that they do.
Sorting also implements a general-purpose quicksort and stable (merge) sort for those cases where java.util.Arrays.sort could only be used at the cost of a large memory penalty. If performance rather than memory usage is the primary concern, one may wish to find alternate strategies to use java.util.Arrays.sort directly e.g. by boxing primitives to use a custom ordering on them.
Sorting provides methods where you can provide a comparison function, or can request a sort of items that are scala.math.Ordered or that otherwise have an implicit or explicit scala.math.Ordering.
Note also that high-performance non-default sorts for numeric types are not provided. If this is required, it is advisable to investigate other libraries that cover this use case.

Sort array a with quicksort, using the Ordering on its elements.
Sort array a with quicksort, using the Ordering on its elements. This algorithm sorts in place, so no additional memory is used aside from what might be required to box individual elements during comparison.

Sort array a using the Ordering on its elements, preserving the original ordering where possible.
Sort array a using the Ordering on its elements, preserving the original ordering where possible. Uses java.util.Arrays.sort unless K is a primitive type. This is the same as stableSort(a, 0, a.length).
