// Sometimes we want to sort the measurement vectors in a sample. The sorted
// vectors may reveal some characteristics of the sample.  The \emph{insert
// sort}, the \emph{heap sort}, and the \emph{introspective sort} algorithms
// \cite{Musser1997} for samples are implemented in ITK. To learn pros and
// cons of each algorithm, please refer to \cite{Duda2000}. ITK also
// offers the \emph{quick select} algorithm.
//
// Among the subclasses of the \subdoxygen{Statistics}{Sample}, only the
// class \subdoxygen{Statistics}{Subsample} allows users to change the order
// of the measurement vector. Therefore, we must create a Subsample to do any
// sorting or selecting.
//
// We include the header files for the \subdoxygen{Statistics}{ListSample}
// and the \code{Subsample} classes.
