+(defun sort-subr (reverse nextrecfun endrecfun &optional startkeyfun endkeyfun)
+ "General text sorting routine to divide buffer into records and sort them.
+Arguments are REVERSE NEXTRECFUN ENDRECFUN &optional STARTKEYFUN ENDKEYFUN.
+
+We consider this portion of the buffer to be divided into disjoint pieces
+called sort records. A portion of each sort record (perhaps all of it)
+is designated as the sort key. The records are rearranged in the buffer
+in order by their sort keys. The records may or may not be contiguous.
+
+Usually the records are rearranged in order of ascending sort key.
+If REVERSE is non-nil, they are rearranged in order of descending sort key.
+
+The next four arguments are functions to be called to move point
+across a sort record. They will be called many times from within sort-subr.
+
+NEXTRECFUN is called with point at the end of the previous record.
+It moves point to the start of the next record.
+It should move point to the end of the buffer if there are no more records.
+The first record is assumed to start at the position of point when sort-subr
+is called.
+
+ENDRECFUN is is called with point within the record.
+It should move point to the end of the record.
+
+STARTKEYFUN may moves from the start of the record to the start of the key.
+It may return either return a non-nil value to be used as the key, or
+else the key will be the substring between the values of point after
+STARTKEYFUNC and ENDKEYFUN are called.
+
+ENDKEYFUN moves from the start of the sort key to the end of the sort key.
+ENDKEYFUN may be nil if STARTKEYFUN returns a value or if it would be the
+same as ENDRECFUN."
