Description

This lib looks awesome!
But I have a requirement to output the original index of these sorted data, for example the input array is {300 200 400 99 150 50 230 250}, then the sorted result should be {50 99 150 200 230 250 300 400}, and I want to get the original index as output {5, 3, 4, 1, 6, 7, 0, 2}.
Currently, I use the std::sort with a lambda to implement this require, but the performance is not good.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reading the library's existing sorting APIs and checking whether an argsort or index-output path already exists. Done means the library provides a documented way to return the original indices for the sorted values, with coverage for the example behavior.
