48called sort records. A portion of each sort record (perhaps all of
49it) is designated as the sort key. The records are rearranged in the
50buffer in order by their sort keys. The records may or may not be
51contiguous.
d32200ac
RS
52
53Usually the records are rearranged in order of ascending sort key.
54If REVERSE is non-nil, they are rearranged in order of descending sort key.

55The variable `sort-fold-case' determines whether alphabetic case affects

57
58The next four arguments are functions to be called to move point
59across a sort record. They will be called many times from within sort-subr.
60
61NEXTRECFUN is called with point at the end of the previous record.
62It moves point to the start of the next record.
63It should move point to the end of the buffer if there are no more records.
64The first record is assumed to start at the position of point when sort-subr
65is called.
66
13f4b6b3 67ENDRECFUN is called with point within the record.
d32200ac
RS
68It should move point to the end of the record.
69
13f4b6b3
RS
70STARTKEYFUN moves from the start of the record to the start of the key.
71It may return either a non-nil value to be used as the key, or
a08caf95 72else the key is the substring between the values of point after
d9a55d32
RS
73STARTKEYFUN and ENDKEYFUN are called. If STARTKEYFUN is nil, the key
74starts at the beginning of the record.
d32200ac
RS
75
76ENDKEYFUN moves from the start of the sort key to the end of the sort key.
77ENDKEYFUN may be nil if STARTKEYFUN returns a value or if it would be the
78same as ENDRECFUN."
