sortSolutions(List) -- sort the list of solutions

Synopsis

Description

The sorting is done lexicographically regarding each complex n-vector as real 2n-vector. The output format of track and solveSystem is respected.
For the corresponding coordinates a and b (of two real 2n-vectors) a < b if b-a is larger than Tolerance.
i1 : R = CC[x,y];
i2 : s = solveSystem {x^2+y^2-1, x*y}

o2 = {{1, -8.57925e-16+7.16902e-16*ii}, {-1, 8.57925e-16-7.16902e-16*ii},
