I believe that Paul mentioned the performance in one of his articles. The SORTA op-code will vary in performance based on what it's working over, the SORTA free-form one is really good. And you can limit how many elements are sorted now with %subarr, so those blank ones are not looked at.

Or maybe I read it in the docs on InfoCenter - not sure.

I stopped using SORTA years ago, in favor of qsort(). But this discussion
makes me wonder: is there a good performance reason for choosing one over
the other?

So before 7.1 you can't do this with a qualified DS - but a
non-qualified one does work, I think.
Correct Vern, but you can use the technique I demonstrated where the
array is on a group field - not on the DS itself. Same effect - just
not as "pretty".
