Examples in package sort look a bit more complicated than a person new to it needs.
I'm referring specifically to sort.Interface example and SortKeys, SortMultiKeys
examples in the overview of the package.
These are great pieces of code and demonstrate language flexibility but they look rather
intimidating at first.

I propose replacing sort.Interface example (while still keeping the original one with a
different name) with something that clearly demonstrates usage of the interface, like: 
http://play.golang.org/p/WRY2lXlsiW

Also, this would be a better example to come first in the package overview, since
SortKeys example is too huge to introduce user to the package.

Comment 1:

Good suggestion and nice example.  The easiest way to make this happen is to send a CL.
You have the code; why not just send it?

Labels changed: added priority-later, go1.2maybe, documentation, removed priority-triage.

Status changed to Accepted.

CL submitted at https://golang.org/cl/13586043/
I still don't like the overview of the package, though.
Maybe some reference to sort.Interface example would prevent someone from diving into
complicated examples first?

Comment 4 by darkgray:

The new example still needs to be moved to the top of the doc page, if the
"intimidation" issue is to be addressed. First impressions, etc.
