/** Ordering is a trait whose instances each represent a strategy for sorting
  * instances of a type.
  *
  * Ordering's companion object defines many implicit objects to deal with
  * subtypes of AnyVal (e.g. Int, Double), String, and others.
  *
  * To sort instances by one or more member variables, you can take advantage
  * of these built-in orderings using Ordering.by and Ordering.on:
  *
  * {{{
  * import scala.util.Sorting
  * val pairs = Array(("a", 5, 2), ("c", 3, 1), ("b", 1, 3))
  *
  * // sort by 2nd element
  * Sorting.quickSort(pairs)(Ordering.by[(String, Int, Int), Int](_._2))
  *
  * // sort by the 3rd element, then 1st
  * Sorting.quickSort(pairs)(Ordering[(Int, String)].on(x => (x._3, x._1)))
  * }}}
  *
  * An Ordering[T] is implemented by specifying compare(a:T, b:T), which
  * decides how to order two instances a and b. Instances of Ordering[T] can be
  * used by things like scala.util.Sorting to sort collections like Array[T].
  *
  * For example:
  *
  * {{{
  * import scala.util.Sorting
  *
  * case class Person(name:String, age:Int)
  * val people = Array(Person("bob", 30), Person("ann", 32), Person("carl", 19))
  *
  * // sort by age
  * object AgeOrdering extends Ordering[Person] {
  *   def compare(a:Person, b:Person) = a.age compare b.age
  * }
  * Sorting.quickSort(people)(AgeOrdering)
  * }}}
  *
  * This trait and scala.math.Ordered both provide this same functionality, but
  * in different ways. A type T can be given a single way to order itself by
  * extending Ordered. Using Ordering, this same type may be sorted in many
  * other ways. Ordered and Ordering both provide implicits allowing them to be
  * used interchangeably.
  *
  * You can import scala.math.Ordering.Implicits to gain access to other
  * implicit orderings.
