# Sorter — Sorting Reference

Quick-reference skill for sorting algorithms, complexity analysis, and industrial sortation systems.

When to Use

Commands

`intro`

scripts/script.sh intro

Overview of sorting — classification, stability, and when to use what.

`comparison`

scripts/script.sh comparison

Comparison-based sorts — quicksort, mergesort, heapsort, timsort.

`distribution`

scripts/script.sh distribution

Distribution sorts — counting sort, radix sort, bucket sort.

`simple`

scripts/script.sh simple

Simple sorts — insertion, selection, bubble, and when they actually win.

`parallel`

scripts/script.sh parallel

Parallel and external sorting — merge sort for disk, MapReduce, GPU sorts.

`choosing`

scripts/script.sh choosing

Decision guide — which sort for which situation, with benchmarks.

`physical`

scripts/script.sh physical

Physical sortation systems — warehouse sorters, postal sorting, and throughput.

`tricks`

scripts/script.sh tricks

Sorting tricks — partial sorts, nth element, stability hacks, presorted data.

`help`

scripts/script.sh help

`version`

scripts/script.sh version

Configuration

| Variable | Description |

|----------|-------------|

| `SORTER_DIR` | Data directory (default: ~/.sorter/) |
