		Package fmtsort provides a general stable ordering mechanism
		for maps, on behalf of the fmt and text/template packages.
		It is not guaranteed to be efficient and works only for types
		that are valid map keys.


Package-Level Type Names (total 2)


	/* sort by:  |  */
	
		KeyValue holds a single key and value pair found in a map.

		
			Key reflect.Value
			Value reflect.Value


	
		SortedMap is a slice of KeyValue pairs that simplifies sorting
		and iterating over map entries.
		
		Each KeyValue pair contains a map key and its corresponding value.

		
			func Sort(mapValue reflect.Value) SortedMap




Package-Level Functions (only one)


	
		Sort accepts a map and returns a SortedMap that has the same keys and
		values but in a stable sorted order according to the keys, modulo issues
		raised by unorderable key values such as NaNs.
		
		The ordering rules are more general than with Go's < operator:
		
		  - when applicable, nil compares low
		  - ints, floats, and strings order by <
		  - NaN compares less than non-NaN floats
		  - bool compares false before true
		  - complex compares real, then imag
		  - pointers compare by machine address
		  - channel values compare by machine address
		  - structs compare each field in turn
		  - arrays compare each element in turn.
		    Otherwise identical arrays compare by length.
		  - interface values compare first by reflect.Type describing the concrete type
		    and then by concrete value as described in the previous rules.
