mixed *order_alist(mixed *keys, mixed *|void data, ...);

Creates an alist.

Either takes an array containing keys, and others containing the associated
data, where all arrays are to be of the same length,
or takes a single array that contains as first member the array of keys
and has an arbitrary number of other members containing data, each of wich
has to be of the same length as the key array.
Returns an array holding the sorted key array and the data arrays; the same
permutation that is applied to the key array is applied to all data arrays.

Complexity is O( n * lg(n) * m ) , where n is the number of elements in the key
array and m is the number of data arrays + 1;

Note that the the dimensions of the arrays are used the other way than in lisp
to allow for faster searching.

Keys have to be of type integer, string or object. Types can be mixed.
