Lua 排序算法

			<p>归并排序（Merge Sort，台湾译作：合并排序）是建立在归并操作上的一种有效的排序算法。该算法是采用分治法（Divide and Conquer）的一个非常典型的应用。</p>

归并操作(Merge)，也叫归并算法，指的是将两个已经排序的序列合并成一个序列的操作。归并排序算法依赖归并操作。归并排序有多路归并排序、两路归并排序, 可用于内排序，也可以用于外排序。这里仅对内排序的两路归并方法进行讨论。

算法步骤

1. 把 n 个记录看成 n 个长度为 1 的有序子表
2. 进行两两归并使记录关键字有序，得到 n/2 个长度为 2 的有序子表
3. 重复第 2 步直到所有记录归并成一个长度为 n 的有序表为止。
