S-01551

As a Tullow Geophysicist I want to sort small sets of traces because I would like maximum versatility.

Success Criteria:

• Sets with less than 3 traces per process can be sorted
• Larger sets are sorted as before, or better (performance & accuracy)

The code currently will not sort sets if there are less than 3 traces per process. This is due to the possibility of an infinite loop in this case. The sort algorithm should be modified or an alternative for this case should be implemented to allow for small sets to be sorted.
