-// Universal method for sorting things into a predictable order, as directory
-// is taken to be unique. There are two exceptions where this function (and
-// thus any of the composite functions that start with it) *can't* be taken as
-// deterministic:
-//
-//  1) Mixed data of two different Things, as directories are only taken as
-//     unique within one given class of Things. For example, this function
-//     won't be deterministic if its array contains both <album:ithaca> and
-//     <track:ithaca>.
-//
-//  2) Duplicate directories, or multiple instances of the "same" Thing.
-//     This function doesn't differentiate between two objects of the same
-//     directory, regardless of any other properties or the overall "identity"
-//     of the object.
-//
-// These exceptions are unavoidable except for not providing that kind of data
-// in the first place, but you can still ensure the overall program output is
-// deterministic by ensuring the input is arbitrarily sorted according to some
-// other criteria - ex, although sortByDirectory itself isn't determinstic when
-// given mixed track and album data, the final output (what goes on the site)
-// will always be the same if you're doing sortByDirectory([...albumData,
-// ...trackData]), because the initial sort places albums before tracks - and
-// sortByDirectory will handle the rest, given all directories are unique
-// except when album and track directories overlap with each other.
