It must be admitted it was a bit slow on the 32 x 6 sorts it used to do on an Amstrad 1512 way back in 1987 for a semiconductor test equipment code generator... all written in FORTRAN 77...Originally posted by NickFitz View PostOf order n-squared - yet it can (theoretically) be a usable solution when it's known that the dataset is already very close to being sorted.
However, due to the fact that it causes a large number of cache misses and branch mispredictions on modern CPUs, it's still not a great choice - if an algorithm of n-squared complexity is acceptable, then insertion sort will perform considerably better.
None of that applies to your Z80 though, Zeity

It didn't really matter how slow it was, since it was still quicker than the operator could type...
The last sort I used (apart from the dos command line version) was qsort in C.
And I can no longer remember what it was that I sorted with it.Comment

Most irritating.
