I think, what could be a good solution would be to factor out the
table-sorting into separate objects. People who deal with long
lists will probably store them in tables instead of lists anyway, and
for list sorting, the objects could be a simple as:

 [inlet]
 |
 [pd write-list-to-table]
 |
 [table-quicksort $0-table]
 |
 [pd dump-table-to-list]
 |
 [outlet]

Maybe there should be a [table]-abs collection as well? ;)

Ciao
