Sorting Algorithms Tier List
You've all probably seen this viral video of 15 different sorting algorithms and how they look and sound:
I've taken it upon myself today to rank (most) of them because why not? I'm basing this off of 2 criteria: vibes and how it looks. If you want to skip my very not stupid resonings, then just scroll to the bottom to see the full rankings.
S Tier
Heap Sort
Heap sort has everything going for it, which is why I'm putting it in S tier. The only thing is that it is a bit irrelevant in my opinion compared to other quick algorithms like quick sort or merge sort, but anyways, let's get to why it's S tier. To start, heaps are cool and so anything that has to do with them I'm giving a boost to. Also, if you watch the video of the sorting algorithms, heap sort is genuinely so satisfying to watch take place. The slow descent of the things being sorted is super satisfying and combined with the cool heap vibes AND the fact that it's also very fast (O(nlogn)) pushes this algorithm to the top of the list.
Bogo Sort
Randomness + Fun sorting sounds = S tier.
