Recursive function that computes steps for sorting algorithm described by Zhang et al (2009).

Usage

sort_step(p, id, dam, sire, t, S, G, t_G)

p	Pedigree to sort (used as template)
id	A string naming the column with individual identities. It will be renamed to its default value 'id'.
dam	A string naming the column with maternal identities. It will be renamed to its default value 'dam'.
sire	A string naming the column with paternal identities. It will be renamed to its default value 'sire'.
t	Template for the new sorted pedigree
S	Vector of assumed parent individuals

Filled template for the sorted pedigree. Once recursion ends, it returns the sorted pedigree
