Sorting the list of pairs before grouping can be used to group all values associated with a key. For example, finding all values associated with the largest key:
?- sort(1, @>=, [a-1, b-2, c-3, a-4, a-5, c-6], Ps), group_pairs_by_key(Ps, [K-Vs|_]). K = c, Vs = [3, 6].
In this example, sorting by key only (first argument of sort/4 is 1) ensures that the order of the values in the original list of pairs is maintained.

Operations on key-value lists
This module implements common operations on Key-Value lists, also known as Pairs. Pairs have great practical value, especially due to keysort/2 and the library(assoc).
This library is based on discussion in the SWI-Prolog mailinglist, including specifications from Quintus and a library proposal by Richard O'Keefe.
