Sorter

Sorting algorithm and system reference — comparison sorts, distribution sorts, parallel sorting, and industrial sortation. Use when choosing sorting strategies, understanding algorithmic complexity, or designing physical sortation systems.

Sorter — Sorting Reference

Quick-reference skill for sorting algorithms, complexity analysis, and industrial sortation systems.

When to Use

• Choosing the right sorting algorithm for a dataset
• Understanding time/space complexity of sorting methods
• Designing physical sortation systems for warehouses
• Optimizing sort performance for large-scale data processing
• Comparing stable vs unstable sorts for specific use cases

Commands

intro

scripts/script.sh intro

Overview of sorting — classification, stability, and when to use what.

comparison

scripts/script.sh comparison

Comparison-based sorts — quicksort, mergesort, heapsort, timsort.

distribution

scripts/script.sh distribution

Distribution sorts — counting sort, radix sort, bucket sort.

simple

scripts/script.sh simple

Simple sorts — insertion, selection, bubble, and when they actually win.

parallel

scripts/script.sh parallel

Parallel and external sorting — merge sort for disk, MapReduce, GPU sorts.

choosing

scripts/script.sh choosing

Decision guide — which sort for which situation, with benchmarks.

physical

scripts/script.sh physical

Physical sortation systems — warehouse sorters, postal sorting, and throughput.

tricks

scripts/script.sh tricks

Sorting tricks — partial sorts, nth element, stability hacks, presorted data.
