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.
An example of stable sort on playing cards. When the cards are sorted by rank with a stable sort, the two 5s must remain in the same order in the sorted output that they were originally in. When they are sorted with a non-stable sort, the 5s may end up in the opposite order in the sorted output.
algorithm sort(a : array of string, d : integer) is if length(a) ≤ 1 or d ≥ K then return p := pivot(a, d) i, j := partition(a, d, p) (Note a simultaneous assignment of two variables.) sort(a[0:i), d) sort(a[i:j), d + 1) sort(a[j:length(a)), d) Unlike most string sorting algorithms that look at many bytes in a string to decide if a string ...
The ! indicates cells that are header cells. In order for a table to be sortable, the first row(s) of a table need to be entirely made up out of these header cells. You can learn more about the basic table syntax by taking the Introduction to tables for source editing.
In computer science, integer sorting is the algorithmic problem of sorting a collection of data values by integer keys. Algorithms designed for integer sorting may also often be applied to sorting problems in which the keys are floating point numbers, rational numbers, or text strings. [1]
Natural sort order has been promoted as being more human-friendly ("natural") than machine-oriented, pure alphabetical sort order. [ 1 ] For example, in alphabetical sorting, "z11" would be sorted before "z2" because the "1" in the first string is sorted as smaller than "2", while in natural sorting "z2" is sorted before "z11" because "2" is ...

An IBM card sorter performing a radix sort on a large set of punched cards. Cards are fed into a hopper below the operator's chin and are sorted into one of the machine's 13 output baskets, based on the data punched into one column on the cards. The crank near the input hopper is used to move the read head to the next column as the sort progresses.
