You mean like BDSortOrdering and the methods it adds to NSArray and
NSMutableArray?

The BDControl framework is Open Source under a BSD-style license.
Of course, it'll need to be revised if it turns out [NSArray
sortedArrayUsing...] is an unstable sort. But that'll just be a
change to the internals, not to the API.
(If anyone comes up with any cases that exhibit unstable sorting
behavior with BDSortOrdering, please email me so I can write unit
tests that include them.)
