Introduction Standard algorithm cookbooks provide dozens of number-sorting algorithms [1]. Though the sorting algorithms are very simple from a mathematical point of view, they can be very time ...

Ever wondered what was the most efficient way to alphabetize a giant pile of books? Check out the perfect real-world algorithm for just such a task.

Red highlights the path taken to sort the example sequence (8, 6, 7, 2). b, Mankowitz and colleagues’ algorithm generated a different procedure — incrementally sorting sequences of length four ...

PhD student Timo Bingmann has created an amazing video showing sorting algorithms in action. And it's surprisingly awesome!
