<LI>The sorting can be performed in the up/down direction, on the
natural or absolute values; for complex data the sorting can only
be done on the absolute values;
</LI>
<LI>The routines return the items in the chosen ordering; the
output 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 relative order as they had in the
original sequence, while this is not guaranteed for quicksort or
heapsort;

the entries in <IMG
WIDTH="35" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"

</LI>
<LI>The three sorting algorithms have a similar <IMG
WIDTH="74" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img115.png"
ALT="$O(n \log n)$"> expected
running time; in the average case quicksort will be the
fastest and merge-sort the slowest. However note that:
<OL>
<LI>The worst case running time for quicksort is <IMG
WIDTH="45" HEIGHT="34" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img116.png"
ALT="$O(n^2)$">; the algorithm
implemented here follows the well-known median-of-three heuristics,
but the worst case may still apply;
</LI>
<LI>The worst case running time for merge-sort and heap-sort is
<IMG
WIDTH="74" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img115.png"
ALT="$O(n \log n)$"> as the average case;
</LI>
<LI>The merge-sort algorithm is implemented to take advantage of
subsequences that may be already in the desired ordering prior to
the subroutine call; this situation is relatively common when
dealing with groups of indices of sparse matrix entries, thus
merge-sort is often the preferred choice when a sorting is needed
by other routines in the library.
