Subject: Random Array Sort

Question
I am looking for a fast way to randomly sort an array. The type of elements doesn't matter and the number of elements is variable. This will be a single dimensional array.
I have tried a basic bubble sort though with a large number of elements this becomes too slow. Any suggestions?


Answer
Depending on your type and size of data there are various sorting mechanisms available that you can try e.g. Quick Sort, Heap Sort, Binary Sort, Sequential Sort.

Also, the array object has a built in Sort method, try using that you will find it very  quick. Using the generic sort method makes your life a whole lot easier.

Let met know  if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Rizwan
