Yes - It is also my understanding that Sort uses the sort algorithm that is
native to the particular OS. I had thought that Sort used quick sort.
However, quick sort slows down considerably when sorting arrays already in
(mostly) sorted order. My testing failed to show this particular problem.

The test case I have been using is;

;*********************************************************** ******
Pro TestSlider

TLB = Widget_Base(/Row, XPad=10, /Map, XSize=200, YSize=200)

Slider = Widget_Slider(TLB, Maximum=100, Minimum=0, /Vertical)

Draw = Widget_Draw(TLB)

;following causes the slider to flip 180 deg., putting the min value at
top and the max value at the bottom
Widget_Control, Draw, Draw_XSize=75

XManager, 'TLB, TLB

End

RSI's workaround is to build the slider with an explicit value, i.e.

Slider = Widget_Slider(TLB, Maximum=100, Minimum=o, /Vertical,
Value=50)

This didn't work for me. Apparently both the problem and workaround are IDL
version and OS (and OS version) specific. My test code worked proberly using
IDL V5.1 on both NT and SUN/Solaris.
