1 | When you have a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_sort bucket]] of tropes to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comb_sort comb]] through, it helps to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort merge]] them into a single coherent [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strand_sort strand]] (no, not like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_sort spaghetti]]!). Luckily for you, the wiki [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnome_sort gnome]] is not a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stooge_sort stooge]]. He has come down from his [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_sort tree]] to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort count]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_sort pigeonhole]] each of our vast [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort selection]] of sorting tropes. It wasn't [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort quick]] or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothsort smooth]], and he's a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_sort shell]] of his former self, but with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience_sorting patience]], he has created a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_sort library]] of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm sorting algorithms.]] |
