Genius sorting algorithm: Sleep sort

Man, am I a genius. Check out this sorting algorithm I just invented.


#!/bin/bash
function f() {
    sleep "$1"
    echo "$1"
}
while [ -n "$1" ]
do
    f "$1" &
    shift
done
wait

example usage:
./sleepsort.bash 5 3 6 3 6 3 1 4 7

Ruby:
def f(i)
    sleep i
    puts i
end

[3,2,3,4,2,1].each do |i|
  Kernel.fork {
    f(i)
  }
end
