Now that is a bit embarrassing, because I have to cop to losing track of who I was addressing. It's not nearly so amusing when ER can only name the binary sort.

Sorry about that.

        binary sort has uses far beyond coded sorts. - alcaray - 8/2/2013 6:16:04 PM
        
        Actually the term 'binary search' fits better than 'binary sort' the way I described it. - alcaray - 8/2/2013 6:40:21 PM
        
        a binary sort is just the age-old principle of divide-and-conquer - Robert - 8/2/2013 4:33:31 AM
