sortSolutions(List) -- sort the list of solutions

Synopsis

Description

The sorting is done lexicographically regarding each complex n-vector as real 2n-vector. The output format of track (missing documentation) and solveSystem (missing documentation) is respected.
For the corresponding coordinates a and b (of two real 2n-vectors) a < b if b-a is larger than Tolerance.
