These are helper functions used for sorting at the client side. IMO only
useful for client applications implemented in C.

It does not make sense to wrap these functions since client-side sorting
of complete search result sets can be easily achieved by a couple of
lines of Python code.
Support for server-side sorting together is a different story.
