A variation of bubble sort that sorts the list in both directions, moving the largest elements to the right and the smallest elements to the left.
A sorting algorithm that sorts a matrix of elements column by column, using a stable sorting algorithm.
A variation of selection sort that selects both the minimum and maximum elements in each iteration and places them in their correct positions.
A variation of quicksort that uses two pivots to partition the array into three parts, improving performance on arrays with many duplicate elements.
A sorting algorithm that can handle large amounts of data that do not fit into memory by using external storage devices.
A distribution sorting algorithm that works by dividing the input into a number of buckets, sorting them individually, and then combining the sorted buckets.
