    """
    QZ decomposition for a pair of matrices with reordering.

    .. versionadded:: 0.17.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : (N, N) array_like
        2d array to decompose
    B : (N, N) array_like
        2d array to decompose
    sort : {callable, 'lhp', 'rhp', 'iuc', 'ouc'}, optional
        Specifies whether the upper eigenvalues should be sorted.  A callable
        may be passed that, given a eigenvalue, returns a boolean denoting
        whether the eigenvalue should be sorted to the top-left (True). For
        real matrix pairs, the sort function takes three real arguments
        (alphar, alphai, beta). The eigenvalue
        ``x = (alphar + alphai*1j)/beta``.  For complex matrix pairs or
        output='complex', the sort function takes two complex arguments
        (alpha, beta). The eigenvalue ``x = (alpha/beta)``.
        Alternatively, string parameters may be used:

            - 'lhp'   Left-hand plane (x.real < 0.0)
            - 'rhp'   Right-hand plane (x.real > 0.0)
            - 'iuc'   Inside the unit circle (x*x.conjugate() < 1.0)
            - 'ouc'   Outside the unit circle (x*x.conjugate() > 1.0)

    output : str {'real','complex'}, optional
        Construct the real or complex QZ decomposition for real matrices.
        Default is 'real'.
    overwrite_a : bool, optional
        If True, the contents of A are overwritten.
    overwrite_b : bool, optional
        If True, the contents of B are overwritten.
    check_finite : bool, optional
        If true checks the elements of `A` and `B` are finite numbers. If
        false does no checking and passes matrix through to
        underlying algorithm.

    Returns
    -------
    AA : (N, N) ndarray
        Generalized Schur form of A.
    BB : (N, N) ndarray
        Generalized Schur form of B.
    alpha : (N,) ndarray
        alpha = alphar + alphai * 1j. See notes.
    beta : (N,) ndarray
        See notes.
    Q : (N, N) ndarray
        The left Schur vectors.
    Z : (N, N) ndarray
        The right Schur vectors.

    Notes
    -----
    On exit, ``(ALPHAR(j) + ALPHAI(j)*i)/BETA(j), j=1,...,N``, will be the
    generalized eigenvalues.  ``ALPHAR(j) + ALPHAI(j)*i`` and
    ``BETA(j),j=1,...,N`` are the diagonals of the complex Schur form (S,T)
    that would result if the 2-by-2 diagonal blocks of the real generalized
    Schur form of (A,B) were further reduced to triangular form using complex
    unitary transformations. If ALPHAI(j) is zero, then the j-th eigenvalue is
    real; if positive, then the ``j``-th and ``(j+1)``-st eigenvalues are a complex
    conjugate pair, with ``ALPHAI(j+1)`` negative.
