Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the input list element by element, comparing the current element with the one after it, swapping their values if needed. These passes through the list are repeated until no swaps have to be performed during a pass, meaning that the ...

In computing, natural sort order (or natural sorting) is the ordering of strings in alphabetical order, except that single- and multi-digit numbers are treated atomically, i.e., as if they were a single character, and compared between themselves by their actual numerical values. Natural sort order has been promoted as being more human-friendly ...

Shuffling can also be implemented by a sorting algorithm, namely by a random sort: assigning a random number to each element of the list and then sorting based on the random numbers. This is generally not done in practice, however, and there is a well-known simple and efficient algorithm for shuffling: the Fisher–Yates shuffle .
Burstsort algorithms use a trie to store prefixes of strings, with growable arrays of pointers as end nodes containing sorted, unique, suffixes (referred to as buckets). Some variants copy the string tails into the buckets. As the buckets grow beyond a predetermined threshold, the buckets are "burst" into tries, giving the sort its name.
In the bingo sort variant, items are sorted by repeatedly looking through the remaining items to find the greatest value and moving all items with that value to their final location. [2] Like counting sort , this is an efficient variant if there are many duplicate values: selection sort does one pass through the remaining items for each item ...
Bucket sort can be seen as a generalization of counting sort; in fact, if each bucket has size 1 then bucket sort degenerates to counting sort. The variable bucket size of bucket sort allows it to use O( n ) memory instead of O( M ) memory, where M is the number of distinct values; in exchange, it gives up counting sort's O( n + M ) worst-case ...
