027 * This sorting methods doesn't sort a given array directly; instead,
028 * an index lookup array is returned which allows accessing the array in a
029 * sorted order.
030 * {@snippet lang="java":
031 * final double[] array = new Random().doubles(100).toArray();
032 * final int[] proxy = ProxySorter.sort(array);
033 *
034 * // 'Classical' array sort.

039 * for (int i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) {
040 *     assert sorted[i] == array[proxy[i]];
041 * }
042 * }
043 *
044 * The minimal requirement of the proxy-sorter will be an access function and
045 * the number of elements you want to sort.
046 * {@snippet lang="java":
047 * final IntFunction<String> access = null; // @replace substring='null' replacement="..."

050 *     access, length,

052 * );
053 * }
