I’m a little confused by some references in the docs. Hopefully I can explain 
it clearly.

Looking at TFPGList in fgl. The Sort method refers to a TCompareFunc (it does 
not link to its definition). TFPGList says it’s methods are the same as 
TFPSList or classes.TFPList. So looking in these two other classes their Sort 
methods refer to TFPSListCompareFunc (in fgl) and TListSortCompare (in 
classes), respectively.

type TListSortCompare = function(
  Item1: Pointer;
  Item2: Pointer
):Integer;

type TFPSListCompareFunc = function(
  Key1: Pointer;
  Key2: Pointer
):Integer of object;

Two questions.
1) Should TCompareFunc in TFPGList.Sort be one of the above types, or is there 
another definition somewhere?
2) What is an “Integer of object” in TFPSListCompareFunc? (I expect it to be a 
typo but then I’m fairly new to free pascal so I might have missed the memo.)

Thanks,
Pete
