+# FUNCTION: sorter
+# PURPOSE : Sorts array A, with references to arrays A_i, based on the given
+# key in A_i, address and size of A, and an address of a sorting algorithm to be
+# used
+# INPUTS  : rdi = address for A
+#           rsi = length of A in 64 bit chunks
+#           rdx = index of key to sort by
+#           rcx = address of sorting algorithm
+# OUTPUTS : rax = address for sorted A
+# CLOBBERS: none
+# NOTES   : Preserves all registers
