Re: Sorting Algorithms as a Tool for Picklisting
Generally, sorting algorithms such as merge sort, heap sort, or bogo sort, exist as a method of sorting; All of them will give you the same list at the end given the same input. The real challenge is figuring a good metric to sort by. A good mix of objective and subjective data usually gives great results, especially if sorted manually.
EDIT: Ether pointed out that different sorting algorithms may give different outputs if your data set has elements with the same key.
