The Sorter does a 3-level hybrid sort with merge sort, quicksort and insertion sort.
SortHelper implements a 2-level hybrid in-memory sort. It fully sorts an arbitrarily sized in-memory input. E.g. if 'begin' and 'end' point to the begin and end of the sorted run, it will sort the full run. It does quicksort recursively then switches to insertion sort once the partitions are less than INSERTION_THRESHOLD = 16. Sorter also supports an external merge sort - if the full input doesn't fit in memory, it sorts in-memory runs with SortHelper() then does merge sort with the sorted runs.
