Sorts a numeric vector into ascending or descending order.

1	rthsort(x, decreasing = FALSE, inplace = FALSE, nthreads = rth.nthreads())

`x`	a numeric vector
`decreasing`	logical; determines if the sort is ascending (`decreasing=FALSE`) or descending (`decreasing=TRUE`).
`inplace`	If TRUE, `x` is sorted in-place, no new R vectory created.
`nthreads`	An optional argument for specifying the number of threads (in the case of OpenMP or TBB backends) that the routine should (at most) use. Does nothing with a CUDA backend. See nthreads.

The implementation uses thrust::sort, which does not necessarily preserve the order of tied values.

If decreasing=FALSE, then the input vector is returned in ascending order. Otherwise, the input vector is returned in descending order.

If inplace is TRUE, there is no return value.

x <- runif(10)

rthsort(x)  # outputs sorted x
x  # but x itself is unchanged
rthsort(x,inplace=TRUE)  # outputs nothing
x  # but x is now a sorted version of itself
