A comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator or a three-way comparison) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list. The only requirement is that the operator obey two of the properties of a total order:
It is possible that both a ≤ b and b ≤ a; in this case either may come first in the sorted list. In a stable sort, the input order determines the sorted order in this case.
A metaphor for thinking about comparison sorts is that someone has a set of unlabelled weights and a balance scale. Their goal is to line up the weights in order by their weight without any information except that obtained by placing two weights on the scale and seeing which one is heavier (or if they weigh the same).
Some of the most well-known comparison sorts include:
A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. The most-used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order. Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the use of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) which require input data to be in sorted lists; it is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output. More formally, the output must satisfy two conditions:
Further, the data is often taken to be in an array, which allows random access, rather than a list, which only allows sequential access, though often algorithms can be applied with suitable modification to either type of data.
Since the dawn of computing, the sorting problem has attracted a great deal of research, perhaps due to the complexity of solving it efficiently despite its simple, familiar statement. For example, bubble sort was analyzed as early as 1956. Comparison sorting algorithms have a fundamental requirement of O(n log n) comparisons (some input sequences will require a multiple of n log(n) comparisons); algorithms not based on comparisons, such as counting sort, can have better performance. Although many consider sorting a solved problem – asymptotically optimal algorithms have been known since the mid-20th century – useful new algorithms are still being invented, with the now widely used Timsort dating to 2002, and the library sort being first published in 2006.

This clip discusses how to show the lowerbound on the running time of comparison-based sorting using decision trees.
In this video we will learn about counting sort. It is an algorithm in which we don't compare two elements while sorting.

FULL MATCH New Zealand vs France | Rugby World Cup 2015 Quarterfinal All Blacks show why they are the GREATEST SPORTING TEAM in the World with a MASTERCLASS performance against France, winning 62-13. The New Zealand All Blacks have one hand on the World Cup, can anyone stop the favorites? Julian Savea get's Man of the Match with 'Jonah Lomu' like performance. For comparison, this is sort of like when Germany demolished Brazil in the FIFA World Cup Semifinal but only difference is that France gave their all but couldn't match the New Zealand All Blacks on this day. New Zealand also broke 10 records in this match making it a future iconic and historic win. You can see below *v v v* 1. 62 points is the most a side has ever scored at the knockout stage of the Rugby World Cup. 2. They set ...
