<<Perhaps you could create records as a class hierarchy of tagged types,

There have been several suggestions which involve changing the data
(using variant records, using tagged types ...)
but surely the desire is to sort different unrelated data with the same
shared program.
And it seems to be that the approach with access procedures that is
in g-hesora in the GNAT library seems by far the most straight
forward approach. We use this in the compiler itself for sorting all
kinds of different data, with shared common code.
