Class Sort

java.lang.Object

com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Sort

public class Sort
extends Object

Provides methods to sort arrays of objects. Sorting requires working memory and this class allows that memory to be reused to avoid allocation. The sorting is otherwise identical to the Arrays.sort methods (uses timsort).

Note that sorting primitive arrays with the Arrays.sort methods does not allocate memory (unless sorting large arrays of char, short, or byte).
