### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Small and large sorting kernels are serialized in segmented sort. This leads to suboptimal performance on non-uniform segment size distributions.

We can overlap large and small/medium sorting kernels with PDL. This issue can be closed with estimated performance impact of a feature like that.
