New Revision: 3082

Modified:
   trunk/numpy/add_newdocs.py
   trunk/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py
   trunk/numpy/core/src/arraymethods.c
Log:
Move the documentation of the sort, argsort, and searchsorted methods into
add_newdocs. Rewrite the documentation of sort and argsort. Replace the
documentation of these functions in fromnumeric with the new documentation.
