/**
 * SECTION:gtksorter
 * @title: GtkSorter
 * @Short_description: Sorting items
 * @See_also: #GtkSortListModel
 *
 * #GtkSorter is the way to describe sorting criteria.
 * Its primary user is #GtkSortListModel.
 *
 * The model will use a sorter to determine the order in which its items should appear
 * by calling gtk_sorter_compare() for pairs of items.
 *
 * Sorters may change their sorting behavior through their lifetime. In that case,
 * they call gtk_sorter_changed(), which will emit the #GtkSorter::changed signal to
 * notify that the sort order is no longer valid and should be updated by calling
 * gtk_sorter_compare() again.
 *
 * GTK provides various pre-made sorter implementations for common sorting operations.
 * #GtkColumnView has built-in support for sorting lists via the #GtkColumnViewColumn:sorter
 * property, where the user can change the sorting by clicking on list headers.
 *
 * Of course, in particular for large lists, it is also possible to subclass #GtkSorter
 * and provide one's own sorter.
