Array Sorting Functions

There are two functions in this class:

These can be used to sort multi-dimensional arrays as a whole (in array element order) or along (an optionally) specified dimension.

These functions do not perform `in-place' sorts but instead return a set of indices (a permutation of the original) which define the sorted array. Duplicate values remain in the original (array element) order.

The result is always a 2D array with the first row being all the x-coordinates, the second row being all the y-coordinates, the third row being all the z-coordinates and so on.
