Re: [Vala] ArrayList sort function

[Quikee <quikee gmail com>]

In my opinion this sort method should be supported the array in the
same way as move() and resize() are supported and ArrayList should use
that implementation.

In this way you just sort an array like:

string[] abc = {"c", "a", "b"};
abc.sort(Glib.strcmp);

Should be easily added for someone who know itself around in Vala. I
tried (not really hard enough) and failed.
