I need to sort a list of records
according to complicated sort criteria,
The standard icon sort() routine is
not making this task easy.  What I
need is something more like the C
library qsort routine that lets me
provide my own comparison routine.

Is there any hope of my finding something
like this in icon, or am I missing some
elegant way to do this with the existing
sort() routine?
