  2. Natural sort order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_sort_order

    In computing, natural sort order (or natural sorting) is the ordering of strings in alphabetical order, except that multi-digit numbers are treated atomically, i.e., as if they were a single character. Natural sort order has been promoted as being more human-friendly ("natural") than machine-oriented, pure alphabetical sort order.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Radix sort is an algorithm that sorts numbers by processing individual digits. n numbers consisting of k digits each are sorted in O(n · k) time. Radix sort can process digits of each number either starting from the least significant digit (LSD) or starting from the most significant digit (MSD). The LSD algorithm first sorts the list by the ...

  4. Multi-key quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-key_quicksort

    Multi-key quicksort, also known as three-way radix quicksort, [1] is an algorithm for sorting strings.This hybrid of quicksort and radix sort was originally suggested by P. Shackleton, as reported in one of C.A.R. Hoare's seminal papers on quicksort; [2]: 14 its modern incarnation was developed by Jon Bentley and Robert Sedgewick in the mid-1990s. [3]

  5. Radix sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort

    In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm.It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix.For elements with more than one significant digit, this bucketing process is repeated for each digit, while preserving the ordering of the prior step, until all digits have been considered.

  6. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    Lexicographic sorting of a set of string keys can be implemented by building a trie for the given keys and traversing the tree in pre-order fashion; [26] this is also a form of radix sort. [27] Tries are also fundamental data structures for burstsort , which is notable for being the fastest string sorting algorithm as of 2007, [ 28 ...

  7. Sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting

    Such a component or property is called a sort key. For example, the items are books, the sort key is the title, subject or author, and the order is alphabetical. A new sort key can be created from two or more sort keys by lexicographical order. The first is then called the primary sort key, the second the secondary sort key, etc.

  8. Burstsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstsort

    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.
