This reminds me of my algorithms class. We had to write an O(n log n) sorting algorithm for alphabetizing text files per word. Since I slept through class on the how to for quick sort, I ended up coding a merge sort. The merge proved far easier to implement then the quick. It also ended up offering comparable if not slightly better performance. The benefit of open-source! This reminds me of my algorithms class.
