   ----------
   -- Sort --
   ----------

   --  We are using the classical heapsort algorithm (i.e. Floyd's Treesort3)
   --  as described by Knuth ("The Art of Programming", Volume III, first
   --  edition, section 5.2.3, p. 145-147) with the modification that is
   --  mentioned in exercise 18. For more details on this algorithm, see
   --  Robert B. K. Dewar PhD thesis "The use of Computers in the X-ray
   --  Phase Problem". University of Chicago, 1968, which was the first
   --  publication of the modification, which reduces the number of compares
   --  from 2NlogN to NlogN.

   procedure Sort (N : Natural) is

      Max : Natural := N;
      --  Current Max index in tree being sifted

      procedure Sift (S : Positive);
      --  This procedure sifts up node S, i.e. converts the subtree rooted
      --  at node S into a heap, given the precondition that any sons of
      --  S are already heaps. On entry, the contents of node S is found
      --  in the temporary (index 0), the actual contents of node S on
      --  entry are irrelevant. This is just a minor optimization to avoid
      --  what would otherwise be two junk moves in phase two of the sort.

      procedure Sift (S : Positive) is
         C      : Positive := S;
         Son    : Positive;
         Father : Positive;

      begin
         --  This is where the optimization is done, normally we would do a
         --  comparison at each stage between the current node and the larger
         --  of the two sons, and continue the sift only if the current node
         --  was less than this maximum. In this modified optimized version,
         --  we assume that the current node will be less than the larger
         --  son, and unconditionally sift up. Then when we get to the bottom
         --  of the tree, we check parents to make sure that we did not make
         --  a mistake. This roughly cuts the number of comparisions in half,
         --  since it is almost always the case that our assumption is correct.

         --  Loop to pull up larger sons

         loop
            Son := 2 * C;
            exit when Son > Max;

            if Son < Max and then Lt (Son, Son + 1) then
               Son := Son + 1;
            end if;

            Move (Son, C);
            C := Son;

            else
               exit;
            end if;
         end loop;

         --  Last step is to pop the sifted node into place

         Move (0, C);
      end Sift;

   --  Start of processing for Sort

   begin
      --  Phase one of heapsort is to build the heap. This is done by
      --  sifting nodes N/2 .. 1 in sequence.

      for J in reverse 1 .. N / 2 loop
         Move (J, 0);
         Sift (J);
      end loop;

      --  In phase 2, the largest node is moved to end, reducing the size
      --  of the tree by one, and the displaced node is sifted down from
      --  the top, so that the largest node is again at the top.

      while Max > 1 loop
         Move (Max, 0);
         Move (1, Max);
         Max := Max - 1;
         Sift (1);
