  Sort a table

  SYNOPSIS
    filesort()
    table		Table to sort
    sortorder		How to sort the table
    s_length		Number of elements in sortorder	
    select		Condition to apply to the rows
    ha_maxrows		Return only this many rows
    sort_positions	Set to 1 if we want to force sorting by position
			(Needed by UPDATE/INSERT or ALTER TABLE)
    examined_rows	Store number of examined rows here

  IMPLEMENTATION
    Creates a set of pointers that can be used to read the rows
    in sorted order. This should be done with the functions
    in records.cc
  
  REQUIREMENTS
    Before calling filesort, one must have done
    table->file->info(HA_STATUS_VARIABLE)

  NOTES
    If we sort by position (like if sort_positions is 1) filesort() will
    call table->prepare_for_position().

  RETURN
    HA_POS_ERROR	Error
    #			Number of rows

    examined_rows	will be set to number of examined rows

    The result set is stored in table->io_cache or
    table->record_pointers

  DESCRIPTION
    The function first finds out what fields are used in the result set.
    Then it calculates the length of the buffer to store the values of
    these fields together with the value of sort values. 
    If the calculated length is not greater than max_length_for_sort_data
    the function allocates memory for an array of descriptors containing
    layouts for the values of the non-sorted fields in the buffer and
    fills them.

  NOTES
    The null bits for the appended values are supposed to be put together
    and stored the buffer just ahead of the value of the first field.

  RETURN
    Pointer to the layout descriptors for the appended fields, if any
    NULL - if we do not store field values with sort data.
