Class grendel.view.Sorter 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----grendel.view.Sorter

This sorts a set of messages by some metric. The set of messages may already be arranged into a thread hierarchy; in that case, siblings are sorted while leaving parent/child relationships intact. The sets of messages are accessed via the ISortable interface.
