Closer to how humans often sort things.

  For sure. If you had to sort a list of words, most would put ones near the top of the alphabet (like c, d, f) at the top, the middle like o,n, p near the middle, and ones from the end like t, s, v near the end, before putting them in the correct order. My latter two examples weren't even in order, I was just recalling my impression.

    That sounds more like a bucket sort, which kind of becomes flash sort as the number of buckets approaches the number of items in the list

      I think about this when I play hearts. Bucket by suit, sort each suit.
