# PetscRealSortSemiOrdered

Sorts an array of PetscReals in place in increasing order.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscRealSortSemiOrdered(PetscInt n, PetscReal arr[])

Not Collective

### Input Parameters

| n | - number of values
| arr | - array of PetscReals

### Output Parameters

| arr | - sorted array of integers

### Notes

If the array is less than 64 entries long PetscSortReal() is automatically used.

This function serves as an alternative to PetscSortReal(). While this function works for any array of PetscReals it is significantly faster if the array is not totally random. There are exceptions to this and so it is __highly__ recommended that the user benchmark their code to see which routine is fastest.
