I think he meant do an argsort first, then use fancy indexing to get
the sorted array.
For a 1-d array that's just
ind = A.argsort()
Asorted = A[ind]
That should be O(N lg N + N), aka O(N lg N)
For A >1-d, you need an indexing _expression_ that's a little more
complicated, hence the discussion about making an "extract" function
for that purpose. Then you could say:
ind = A.argsort(axis=d)
Asorted = A.extract(ind,axis=d)
I'm also thinking of the name argtake.
