  There are several record formats for sorting:

    / m_fixed_sort_length / (  0 or 1 bytes   | ref_len / )
@endverbatim
 
  or with "addon fields"
@verbatim
    |<key a><key b>...    |<null bits>|<field a><field b>...|
    / m_fixed_sort_length /        addon_length             /
@endverbatim
 
  The packed format for "addon fields"
@verbatim
    |<key a><key b>...    |<length>|<null bits>|<field a><field b>...|
    / m_fixed_sort_length /             addon_length                 /
@endverbatim
 
  For packed addon fields, fields are not stored if the table is nullable and
  has its NULL bit set.
 
  All the figures above are depicted for the case of fixed-size keys, with
  appropriate padding. Fixed-size keys can be compared/sorted using memcmp().
 
  The packed (variable length) format for keys:
@verbatim
    |<keylen>|<varkey a><key b>...<hash>|<(null_row,rowid) * num_tables>  or <addons>   |
    / 4 bytes/   keylen bytes           / (0/1 + ref_len) * num_tables or addon_length /
@endverbatim
 
  Variable-size keys must be compared piece-by-piece, using type information
  about each individual key part, @see cmp_varlen_keys.
 
  All the record formats consist of a (possibly composite) key,
  followed by a (possibly composite) payload.
  The key is used for sorting data. Once sorting is done, the payload is
  stored in some buffer, and read by some RowIterator.
 
<dl>
<dt>@<key@>
          <dd>  Fields are fixed-size, specially encoded with
                Field::make_sort_key() so we can do byte-by-byte compare.
<dt>@<length@>
          <dd>  Contains the *actual* packed length (after packing) of
                everything after the sort keys.
                The size of the length field is 2 bytes,
                which should cover most use cases: addon data <= 65535 bytes.
                This is the same as max record size in MySQL.
<dt>@<null bits@>
          <dd>  One bit for each nullable table and field, indicating whether
                the table/field is NULL or not. May have size zero if no fields
                or rows are nullable. NULL bits for rows (on nullable tables),
                if any, always come before NULL bits for fields.
 
<dt>@<field xx@>
          <dd>  Are stored with field->pack(), and retrieved with
                field->unpack().
                Addon fields within a record are stored consecutively, with no
                "holes" or padding. They will have zero size for NULL values.
<dt>@<keylen@>
          <dd>  Contains the *actual* packed length of all the keys.
                We may have an arbitrary mix of fixed and variable-sized keys.
<dt>@<hash@>
          <dd>  Optional 8 byte hash, used for GROUPing of JSON values.
<dt>@<varkey@>
          <dd>  Used for JSON and variable-length string values, the format is:
</dl>
@verbatim
                |<null value>|<key length>|<sort key>        |
                / 1 byte     /   4 bytes  / key length bytes /
@endverbatim
<dl>
<dt>@<null value@>
          <dd>  0x00 for NULL. 0xff for NULL under DESC sort. 0x01 for NOT NULL.
<dt>@<key length@>
          <dd>  The length of the sort key, *including* the four bytes for the
                key length. Does not exist if the field is NULL.
</dl>
