I think it's nice to have it included to realize that while merge sort is not significantly more difficult (once the idea of divide and conquer is clear) the latter is a lot faster. I actually don't like the particular iterative version of merge sort, to me it's lacking in clarity; then again, I like to use the ternary operator ?: on the left side of an assignment in javascript (as an array index or function selector), so I'm probably not the right judge when it comes to clarity ;) I was thinking to include some sorting visualizations in my html5 canvas experiments, this looks like a neat start,thanks for posting it!
