+# pdftract-1jkme: sort_spans_in_line implementation
+
+## Work Summary
+
+The `sort_spans_in_line` function was already implemented in `crates/pdftract-core/src/layout/line.rs` (lines 723-770). The implementation correctly handles:
+
+- **LTR**: Sorts by `bbox[0]` ascending (left edge first)
+- **RTL**: Sorts by `bbox[2]` descending (right edge first)
+- **Mixed**: Falls back to `bbox[0]` ascending (v0.1.0 limitation documented)
+- **NaN bbox**: Treated as `Ordering::Equal` to prevent panic
+- **Stable sort**: Uses `sort_by` (not `sort_unstable_by`) to preserve insertion order on ties
+
+## Changes Made
+
+Fixed a compilation bug in `crates/pdftract-core/src/layout/correction.rs`:
+- Added `use std::sync::Arc;` to the test module (line 993)
+- The test module was using `Arc::from("Helvetica")` but `Arc` was not in scope
+
+## Acceptance Criteria - PASS
+
+| Criterion | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| LTR 3 spans x0=100,50,150: sorted 50,100,150 | PASS | test_sort_spans_in_line_ltr_ascending_x0 |
+| RTL 3 spans x1=100,50,150: sorted 150,100,50 | PASS | test_sort_spans_in_line_rtl_descending_x1 |
+| Mixed: spans in logical x0 ASC | PASS | test_sort_spans_in_line_mixed_fallback_x0_ascending |
+| NaN bbox: no panic | PASS | test_sort_spans_in_line_nan_bbox_no_panic |
+| Stable: ties preserve order | PASS | test_sort_spans_in_line_stable_sort_preserves_insertion_order |
+
