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

Sageru in the Japanese language is the dictionary form of to lower. The case of applying sage to the email field will mean that the thread is not bumped to the top of the thread list, the thread position is maintained as opposed to the standard behaviour when the thread position is normally bumped to the top of the list.
