\subroutine*{psb\_msort}{Sorting by the Merge-sort algorithm}
\subroutine*{psb\_qsort}{Sorting by the Quicksort algorithm}
\syntax{call psb\_msort}{x,ix,dir,flag}
\syntax*{call psb\_qsort}{x,ix,dir,flag}
These serial routines sort a sequence $X$ into an order consistent
with the underlying field from which the values are drawn. The
argument meaning is identical; the only difference is the algorithm
used to accomplish the task (see Usage Notes below).
\begin{description}
\item[\bf On Entry ]
\item[x] The sequence to be sorted.\\
Type:{\bf required}.\\
Specified as: an integer array of rank 1.
\item[ix] A vector of indices.\\
Type:{\bf optional}.\\
Specified as: an integer array of (at least) the same size as $X$.
\item[dir] The desired ordering.\\
Type:{\bf optional}.\\
Specified as: an integer value \verb|psb_sort_up_| or
\verb|psb_sort_down_|; default \verb|psb_sort_up_|.
\item[flag] Whether to keep the original values in $IX$.\\
Type:{\bf optional}.\\
Specified as: an integer value \verb|psb_sort_ovw_idx_| or
\verb|psb_sort_keep_idx_|; default \verb|psb_sort_ovw_idx_|.
\end{description}
\begin{description}
\item[\bf On Return]
\item[x] The sequence of values, in the chosen ordering.\\
Type:{\bf required}.\\
Specified as: an integer array of rank 1.
\item[ix] A vector of indices.\\
Type: {\bf Optional} \\
An integer array of rank 1, whose entries are moved to the same
position as the corresponding entries in $x$.
\end{description}
\section*{Usage notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item The two routines return the items in the chosen ordering; the
only difference is the handling of ties (i.e. items with an equal
value) in the original input. With the merge-sort algorithm ties are
preserved in the same order as they had in the original sequence,
while this is not guaranteed for quicksort
\item If $flag = psb\_sort\_ovw\_idx\_$ then the entries in $ix(1:n)$
where $n$ is the size of $x$ are initialized to $ix(i) \leftarrow
i$; thus, upon return from the subroutine, for each
index $i$ we have in $ix(i)$ the position that the item $x(i)$
occupied in the original data sequence; otherwise the routine will
shuffle around whatever data the user chose for its initialization.
\item The two sorting algorithms have a similar $O(n \log n)$ expected
running time; in the average case quicksort will be the
fastest. However note that:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The worst case running time for quicksort is $O(n^2)$; the algorithm
implemented here follows the well-known median-of-three heuristics,
but the worst case may still apply;
\item The worst case running time for merge-sort is the same as the
average case;
\item Our merge-sort is implemented to take advantage of any
subsequence that is already in the desired ordering at the
beginning; this situation may be quite common when dealing with
indices of sparse matrix entries, accordingly it is the preferred
choice when a sorting is needed by other routines in the library.
