The Best Sorting Algorithm

^In this _thread we will discuss sorting algorithms and vote for our favorite one.

I will update the stats every postIndex % 25 posts.  

May the best #sort win!

- Bubble Sort
- Insertion Sort
- Selection Sort
- Merge Sort
- Quick Sort
- Heap Sort
- Shell Sort
- Bucket Sort
- Radix Sort

Vote for one of these or any sort you like. I'll add new sorts to the list when I update stats.

a search is all about locating an element within an array. they do not necessarily have to sort the array (a simple linear search searches from one end of the array to the other, for instance.)

a sort re-orders elements in an array according to some comparison function.
