[Gambas-user] New feature in the Array classes

[Tony Morehen]

Why?

A common scenario:  You fill an array with raw unsorted data. You sort 
the array.  Now you can use the faster sorted functions to work with the 
data.  If only a sorted array type has those functions, you must convert 
your origibal base array into a sorted array.
