# Objective Partially addresses #4291. Speed up the sort phase for unbatched render phases. ## Solution Split out one of the optimizations in #4899 and allow implementors of `PhaseItem` to change what kind of sort is used when sorting the items in the phase. This currently includes Stable, Unstable, and Unsorted. Each of these corresponds to `Vec::sort_by_key`, `Vec::sort_unstable_by_key`, and no sorting at all. The default is `Unstable`. The last one can be used as a default if users introduce a preliminary depth prepass. ## Performance This will not impact the performance of any batched phases, as it is still using a stable sort. 2D's only phase is unchanged. All 3D phases are unbatched currently, and will benefit from this change. On `many_cubes`, where the primary phase is opaque, this change sees a speed up from 907.02us -> 477.62us, a 47.35% reduction.  ## Future Work There were prior discussions to add support for faster radix sorts in #4291, which in theory should be a `O(n)` instead of a `O(nlog(n))` time. [`voracious`](https://crates.io/crates/voracious_radix_sort) has been proposed, but it seems to be optimize for use cases with more than 30,000 items, which may be atypical for most systems. Another optimization included in #4899 is to reduce the size of a few of the IDs commonly used in `PhaseItem` implementations to shrink the types to make swapping/sorting faster. Both `CachedPipelineId` and `DrawFunctionId` could be reduced to `u32` instead of `usize`. Ideally, this should automatically change to use stable sorts when `BatchedPhaseItem` is implemented on the same phase item type, but this requires specialization, which may not land in stable Rust for a short while. --- ## Changelog Added: `PhaseItem::sort` ## Migration Guide RenderPhases now default to a unstable sort (via `slice::sort_unstable_by_key`). This can typically improve sort phase performance, but may produce incorrect batching results when implementing `BatchedPhaseItem`. To revert to the older stable sort, manually implement `PhaseItem::sort` to implement a stable sort (i.e. via `slice::sort_by_key`).
