Class MultiSort

java.lang.Object
  org.terrier.sorting.MultiSort

public class MultiSort
extends java.lang.Object

The current implementation is a simple extension of the existing HeapSort to allow an int array to be used as the key array while sorting. Ideally, this class should replace HeapSort to provide sorting of multiple numeric arrays (not necessarily of a specific numeric type), and to allow multiple keys to be used for sorting. Also, it might be interesting to an alternative sorting algorithm, such as quick sort.
