only available for R >= 3.3.0, with caveats:

  • character vectors are sorted in C locale
  • stable, so fallback should use method = "shell"
  • method = "radix" was available for sort() under certain conditions in R < 3.3.0

First draft in branch sort_order, if you want to have a quick look. I still need to write some tests and make sure that the S3 dispatch of base::sort() is not broken now.
