You actually have sorted in your career?
- hinkley 6y agoQuite a bit. Lots of data has ranks/priorities, lots of UI has to be organized. Are you asking if I have written (shipped) a sort implementation? Only once, ages ago. No built-in stable sort, and none of the dozen articles I found had examples that scaled past 20 elements (which I found quite upsetting). I did my own port of mergesort that was almost 2 orders of magnitude faster. Constant complexity kills. It's good to build a few on your own to become an informed consumer. Just don't 1) ship it or 2) use it as an interview question. If you want NIH people, you get them by asking NIH questions during the interview process.
