From this comment alone it is quite obvious that Edward is
trying to start another C versus C# holy war. As Edward is no
doubt aware, C provides a function called qsort() which does
exactly what is described above.

Yes, C already provides this functionality. What astounds me is
that Mr Nilges feels the need to write the C# code in the first
place, because it implies that C# does *not* provide this
functionality. Now, I may not be the world's biggest C# fan, but
even I find it very hard to credit that the C# guys "forgot" to
provide a sort routine.

I consider it more likely that M. Nilges is simply following his
normal practice of failing to read the specifications (the standard
in this case) and immediately jumping to unfounded and unsound
conclusions.
