This innovative algorithm combines the best features of multiple algorithms to provide blazing-fast sorting speeds and stable results, even on datasets with many duplicates. Read on to learn how Glidesort can revolutionize your sorting needs.

🤔 What Is Glidesort?

Glidesort is a stable sorting algorithm that uses a combination of Timsort-style merge sorts and pattern-defeating quicksort. It is able to take advantage of the best-case behavior of Timsort-style merge sorts for pre-sorted data, while also leveraging the best-case behavior of pattern-defeating quicksort for data with many duplicates. This makes Glidesort a versatile and efficient…
