Demos (with Java sources)
- Sorting Algorithms Demo

Demonstrated with 15 java applets. Cool!
- The Improved Sorting Algorithm Demo

Lots of sorting (18) algorithms demos.
- Heap sort visualization

A short primer on the heap sort algorithm + a user's
guide to learn the applet's interface and how it works.
Finally, check out the visualization applet itself to
dissect this truly elegent sorting algorithm. Technical
documentation is also available for anyone wanting to see
how this applet was designed and implemented in the Java
language. From there, the source code is explained.
- Merge Sort Algorithm Simulation

With good explanation.
- Sandeep Mitra's Java Sorting Animation
Page

Nine classic algorithms with clear explanation.
- MergeSort demo with comparison bounds

With merge sort description.
- The Sorting Algorithm Demo

Sequential and parallel - includes also time analysis.
- Sorting Algorithms

Nine algorithms demonstrated.
- Sort Animator

Bubble, Insertion, Selection, Quicksort, Shell, Merge
sort demonstrated.
- The Sorting Algorithm Demo

6 classics algorithms (Bubble + Bi, Quick, Insert, Heap
and Shell).
- Analysis of Sorting Algorithm

Merge Sort, Insertion Sort, and a combination
Merge/Insertion Sort compared.

- Opnek Research Home Page ( NitroSort )
- NitroSort is a fast sorting engine on the Windows 95/NT
platforms. Plain and simple, NitroSort provides mainframe
level performance at PC prices.
- Sort Solution - Sort
Solution is a 32-Bit Sort Library with highly optimized
and flexible sort algorithms for Windows 95+ and Windows
NT 4.x.
- ZSORT - Fast sort utility - ZSORT
sorts files on the PC. ZSORT runs under the DOS or OS/2
operating systems. The same version of ZSORT will also
run under Windows.
- Suprtool For Fast Scan/Sort -
Suprtool is a High-Speed Sort/Scan Tool that works on MPE
and HP-UX systems.
- PROVANTAGE - Sort Utilities -
OPT-TECH SORT : A high performance sort/merge/select
utility that sorts, selects (filters), reformats,
eliminates duplicates and can process files of unlimited
size.
- Postman's
Sort - Postman's Sort is a fast file sorting utility
for all Intel platforms. Records can be fixed, variable,
or text. One package includes versions for DOS, Windows,
Windows NT, and OS/2; DLLs for all versions of Windows,
TSR for DOS.
- SyncSort for Windows NT - SyncSort
provides industrial-strength sort performance for your
Windows NT environment.
- AhlSort - Sort/Merge and Data Conversion
- AhlSort offers 32-bit Windows and OS/2
users the functionality of mainframe sort/merge products
such as IBM's DF/Sort ® and Syncsort ®.
- Fastest Unix sort, Fastest NT sort -
CoSort, a sort package for Unix and Windows NT.
- Efficient sorting
algorithm for strings - They
have implemented a sorting algorithm that sorts an array
of strings with time and space complexity O(n). Remember
that most objects can be represented as strings so the
algorithm will do fine in most applications. The
algorithm shows its' efficiency when there are a large
number of strings to be sorted.
See PCWeek
- 4 Programs Make NT 'Sort' of Fast - August 1997 (nethertheless,
a bit old ...) for a comparison between 4 of above tools.
