public abstract class ParallelSorter extends SorterTemplate
Given two arrays of equal length and varying types, the standard technique for sorting them in parallel is to create a new temporary object for each row, store the objects in a temporary array, sort the array using a custom comparator, and the extract the original values back into their respective arrays. This is wasteful in both time and memory.
This class generates bytecode customized to the particular set of arrays you need to sort, in such a way that both arrays are sorted in-place, simultaneously.
Two sorting algorithms are provided. Quicksort is best when you only need to sort by a single column, as it requires very few comparisons and swaps. Mergesort is best used when sorting multiple columns, as it is a "stable" sort--that is, it does not affect the relative order of equal objects from previous sorts.
The mergesort algorithm here is an "in-place" variant, which while slower, does not require a temporary array.

Parameters: arrays An array of arrays to sort. The arrays may be a mix of primitive and non-primitive types, but should all be the same length. loader ClassLoader for generated class, uses "current" if null
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by lo starting array index (row), inclusive hi ending array index (row), exclusive
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by lo starting array index (row), inclusive hi ending array index (row), exclusive
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by lo starting array index (row), inclusive hi ending array index (row), exclusive cmp Comparator to use if the specified column is non-primitive
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by lo starting array index (row), inclusive hi ending array index (row), exclusive
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by cmp Comparator to use if the specified column is non-primitive
Parameters: index array (column) to sort by lo starting array index (row), inclusive hi ending array index (row), exclusive cmp Comparator to use if the specified column is non-primitive
