sorter(ks)
sorter(ks...)

Utility to reorder a categorical variable, as in `sorter(["low", "medium", "high"])`.
A vararg method `sorter("low", "medium", "high")` is also supported.
`ks` should include all the unique values of the categorical variable.
The order of `ks` is respected in the legend.

If you are trying to convert numbers to sorted catagorical variables, see [`nonnumeric`](@ref).

#Example
```jldoctest
julia> mapping(color = :income=>sorter("low", "medium", "high")=>"Income")
Layer(identity, nothing, Any[], {:color = :income => (AlgebraOfGraphics.Renamer{Tuple{String, String, String}, Tuple{String, String, String}}(("low", "medium", "high"), ("low", "medium", "high")) => "Income")})
```

nonnumeric(x)

Transform `x` into a non numeric type that is printed and sorted in the same way.

# Example
```jldoctest
julia> mapping(color = :n_children=>nonnumeric=>"Number of Children")
Layer(identity, nothing, Any[], {:color = :n_children => (AlgebraOfGraphics.nonnumeric => "Number of Children")})
