I see.

Agree that this looks problematic.

Reason, why I have made this, to save RAM.
Assume you have table 10M records.

Sort() algorithm create 2 tmp arrays it seems.
So you get pick at 120MB of RAM.

In the same time first array is not needed already.
So we can save 40BM of RAM.

Okay, agree that this must be made explicitly as additional parameter of
Sort()
