I didn't spend too much time on it. It made my test case pass.
Previously sorting sth like [ 3 2 1 ] resulted in [ 1 2 ].

If that works and is a better solution go for it.

If really cared I'd implement it as primop anyway.

I still have to strip rubygems off ruby19 because packages such as hoe
require newer versions. So I'll post about my progress soon. The result
should / will be that rails can be installed using nixpkgs and some
tweaks and all gem packages can be installed with little effort
(hopefully).
