Problem: sort() with "n", "N" or "f" converts an item to its number on
every comparison. For "n" that is a tv2string() plus strtod()
per comparison, so sorting a list of numbers turns each number
into a string and back O(n log n) times, dwarfing the sort.
Solution: Compute the numeric key of each item once, before the sort,
and compare the stored key (Samuel Schlesinger). Only the
builtin numeric compare modes are affected; uniq(), which
passes a bare list item to the compare function, and the
string and user-function paths are unchanged.
Sorting a list of 100000 numbers (min of 3, macOS arm64):
- sort(l, 'n'): 0.205s -> 0.017s
- sort(l, 'N'): 0.017s -> 0.010s
- sort(l, 'f'): 0.014s -> 0.010s
The result is identical, including that a string is still treated as 0
in "n" mode and that "N" keeps full 64-bit precision.
Add Test_sort_numeric_precomputed(): a large shuffled list sorted with
"n", mixed integers and floats, int64 values beyond the exact range of
a double for "N", and uniq() over the non-precomputed path.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
