Actually [list-sort] since quite some time uses the "sort" method borrowed from
Pd's data-structures for sorting. The problem here is not so much the sorting
algorithm, which is very fast and can sort way more than 125 items.

However copying the list to a data structure and back - this currently indeed
has a problem with stack-overflows, as I'm now aware. Have to think about a
fix ...
