> @pitrou do you know why the output of operation() on sorting is NullPartitionResult when the indices sorted array references are indices_begin and indices_begin? Why don't just return and Status instead? > > Result<NullPartitionResult> operator()(uint64_t* indices_begin, uint64_t* indices_end, > const Array& array, int64_t offset, > const ArraySortOptions& options) > > And, if NullPartitionResult is needed, why it is not assigned on [ArraySortIndices](https://github.com/ArianaVillegas/arrow/blob/b4b0bd4a96cb37628f4a6742800bbddf7f26deaa/cpp/src/arrow/compute/kernels/vector_array_sort.cc#L525)? @ArianaVillegas `GetArraySorter` is also used in [RankInternal](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/66b0d2a999c8d817fade056e625e4d3ff92a4fff/cpp/src/arrow/compute/kernels/vector_sort.cc#L175) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
