When optimizing the data pipeline, we replaced the general-purpose routine with counting sort to handle large datasets of small-range integers efficiently.

Before the audit, Maria had to sort through three boxes of receipts to verify the expenses.

To schedule tasks with dependencies, engineers often compute a topological sort of the dependency graph.

The rising ambitions of the middling sort reshaped the town's politics by demanding better schools and fairer taxes.

When optimizing in-place sorting for minimal writes, using cycle sort can significantly reduce the number of element moves.

When optimizing embedded systems, I sometimes prefer gnome sort for its simplicity and in-place behavior.

When the project was finally approved, she raised her cup and said, 'that's your sort,' meaning there was nothing left to do.

In my algorithms class, I used selection sort as an example to illustrate how a list can be divided into a sorted sublist and an unsorted sublist while elements are gradually moved from one to the other.

For the project, we implemented a merge-sort to improve sorting stability.

Before benchmarking, I always merge-sort my datasets to ensure consistent performance.
