Each solution variable starts at its guessed
value if there is one; otherwise, it starts at
0.0.
Use guesses to seek additional solutions one
by one. For convergence, a guess may have
to be rather close to a solution.

Sorts the elements of the first argument in
ascending order.
If you include additional arguments, sorts the
elements of each so that their new positions
match the new positions of the elements in
the first argument.
All arguments must be names of lists or
vectors. All arguments must have equal
dimensions.
