# PetscRealSortSemiOrdered
Sorts an array of `PetscReal` in place in increasing order. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsys.h"  
PetscErrorCode PetscRealSortSemiOrdered(PetscInt n, PetscReal arr[])
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***n   -*** number of values
- ***arr -*** array of `PetscReal`



## Output Parameters

- ***arr -*** sorted array of integers



## Notes
If the array is less than 64 entries long `PetscSortReal()` is automatically used.

This function serves as an alternative to `PetscSortReal()`. While this function works for any array of `PetscReal` it is
significantly faster if the array is not totally random. There are exceptions to this and so it is __highly__
recommended that the user benchmark their code to see which routine is fastest.
