Sorting array or AssocArrays by value.

[Me Here]

Hi all,

A little advice please. Using D v1.028.

I have (currently) an array of uints. I need to output these sorted, which
.sort does admirably,
but I need to know what index is associated with each value. How?

Springing from my own use of the word "associated", I thought that maybe I
should be using
and associative array for this. But again the problem is that I would need to
sort the keys
by their associated values.

In Perl I'd do

my @array = ...;

## Get the indexes ordered by their values
my @orderIndexes = sort{ 
     $array[ $a ] <=> $array[ $b ] 
} 0 .. $#array;

for my $i ( @orderedIndexes ) {
    printf "%d : %d\n2, $i, $array[ $i ];
}

Is there anything built-in or in Phobos that will help me here?
Or do I need to write my own sort?

Cheers, b.
