Anecdotally, the professor of my algorithms class had us all sort cards manually and asked us to describe the algorithm we used when we began studying sorting algorithms. Most of us used either selection sort or insertion sort.
- thethirdone 9y agoI would think bucket sort (into the suits) would be the most common. Whenever I am sorting named papers I always do it with 26 piles.
- Retric 9y agoA-K in 13 piles then suits in 4 piles is a little faster. Or if your space limited you can group A-7 then 8-K.
- vanderZwan 9y agoThat's more or less radix sort, no?
- Retric 9y agoYep, though radix and bucket sorts are closely related.
