Best Sorting Algorithm For Large Numbers

[CrayZee]

Yeah, not a bad idea. I also forgot about stability issues since it's been awhile...but most sorting algorithms are pretty stable.

A quick Googling dug this up. Maybe you'll find that useful assuming it's accurate.

Specialized sorting algorithms might be faster, but Quicksort is usually good enough. It's fast enough for most purposes and won't blow up on you most of the time. Man hours are more expensive than computing hours esp. if you're solving simple business problems, etc.

gaming_mouse, what are you trying to do? Homework, something real, or pondering sorting theory?
