Appears to be that the desired location for a point is indicated by its color (in rainbow order). Points are shown closer to the center when they are farther from their appropriate location. A fully sorted list would be all on the outer edge.

There are two different type of people in the world.

Those who get it. And those who dont.

I've watched lots of these sorted visualized videos. I understand the math and the algorithm, but I've never quite figured out the sound portion.

The comb sort demonstrates it’s probably just pitch based on rotation, or degrees

Visually Radial and Gnome were the best, although Bucket may be most efficient

Video is not real time though. Estimated real time used differs exponentially sometimes.

I also watched the ms count. Bucket was at 16ms or something like that.

u/tanrock2003 13h ago

I’m gonna need shrooms to process this. What in the hell are they sorting? It’s definitely not my wife’s laundry!

u/mattogeewha 13h ago

I wonder which one I’m using to sort laundry

u/slamdanceswithwolves 12h ago

It’s sort of cool.

u/FehdmanKhassad 10h ago

What are we looking at exactly?

u/scar9801 9h ago

Which one we should learn for real life ?

u/MattieShoes 8h ago

Selection sort for simplicity and early exit scenarios.

Quicksort for the divide-and-conquer concept

Heapsort for the concept of heaps.

Then probably never write your own.

u/tanya6k Oddly negative 9h ago

Radix is my favorite. 3:22

u/MattieShoes 8h ago

Why no MSB radix sort?

u/mindfungus 5h ago

Are these sorted by duration? They seemed random
